The Galactical Ultrawideangle Schmidt System (GAUSS) camera is described. The camera is designed for operation in a wavelengh range extending far into vacuum ultraviolet. A three axis stabilized platform with a control range of plus or minus five degrees integrated into the camera design is described. The stages involved in developing the camera are outlined. The unit is designed to be carried on the D2 Spacelab mission accommodated on the D2 Utility Support Structure (USS). Difficulties in meeting contradicting requirements of high precision and wide temperature ranges for a variety of mechanisms with quite different performances are discussed.
