论文摘要
平流层气球为大气受限波长范围的观测提供了可访问且负担得起的平台。同时，它们可以作为技术演示仪器和其他硬件的未来空间应用的有效步骤。成像天文台（Studio）的平流层紫外线演示器是一个气球传播的平台，并在0.5 m的孔径望远镜上携带成像微通道板（MCP）检测器的任务。目前，Studio计划在2022赛季在瑞典Esrange的夏季周转条件下飞行。有关紫外线（UV）检测器的详细信息，请参见Conti等人的贡献。到这个研讨会。该任务的科学目标是调查银河平面内可变的热恒星和燃烧的M型恒星。同时，该任务是一个多功能且可扩展的天文气球平台以及上述MCP仪器的演示者。吊船旨在允许使用不同的仪器或望远镜。此外，它的设计目的是在欧洲平流层气球天文台（ESBO）倡议下设想的几次飞行，也可以使用更长的飞行。在本文中，我们介绍了工作室平台制造和测试的设计和当前状态。我们进一步提出了当前的飞行计划和埃斯兰奇的观察。
Stratospheric balloons offer accessible and affordable platforms for observations in atmosphere-constrained wavelength ranges. At the same time, they can serve as an effective step for technology demonstration towards future space applications of instruments and other hardware. The Stratospheric UV Demonstrator of an Imaging Observatory (STUDIO) is a balloon-borne platform and mission carrying an imaging micro-channel plate (MCP) detector on a 0.5 m aperture telescope. STUDIO is currently planned to fly during the summer turnaround conditions over Esrange, Sweden, in the 2022 season. For details on the ultraviolet (UV) detector, see the contribution of Conti et al. to this symposium. The scientific goal of the mission is to survey for variable hot compact stars and flaring M-dwarf stars within the galactic plane. At the same time, the mission acts as a demonstrator for a versatile and scalable astronomical balloon platform as well as for the aforementioned MCP instrument. The gondola is designed to allow the use of different instruments or telescopes. Furthermore, it is designed to serve for several, also longer, flights, which are envisioned under the European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory (ESBO) initiative. In this paper, we present the design and current status of manufacturing and testing of the STUDIO platform. We furthermore present the current plans for the flight and observations from Esrange.
