Balloon-borne astronomy is a unique tool that allows for a level of imagestability and significantly reduced atmospheric interference without the oftenprohibitive cost and long development time-scale that are characteristic ofspace-borne facility-class instruments. The Super-pressure Balloon-borneImaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a wide-field imager designed to provide 0.02"image stability over a 0.5 degree field-of-view for deep exposures within thevisible-to-near-UV (300-900 um). As such, SuperBIT is a suitable platform for awide range of balloon-borne observations, including solar and extrasolarplanetary spectroscopy as well as resolved stellar populations and distantgalaxies. We report on the overall payload design and instrumentationmethodologies for SuperBIT as well as telescope and image stability resultsfrom two test flights. Prospects for the SuperBIT project are outlined with anemphasis on the development of a fully operational, three-month science flightfrom New Zealand in 2020.

Overview, design, and flight results from SuperBIT: a high-resolution, wide-field, visible-to-near-UV balloon-borne astronomical telescope
