Scientific paper

The high altitude balloon experiment (HABE) optical system is designed to address target tracking and pointing issues. The HABE optical system is based on a 60 cm telescope and involves an IR (4.4 micrometers ) tracking camera with a 2.3 mrad field of view and a visible (0.532 micrometers ) tracking camera with a 0.257 mrad field of view. An inertial reference alignment laser controls a fast- steering mirror to point a marker laser at the target. The basic optical layout and the optical design issues are discussed. Diffraction-limited performance was achieved for the design of the imaging cameras.
