The gondola was developed using flight heritage from the Stratospheric Terahertz Observatory (STO). The four subsystems are the Pointing, Command and Control, Power, and Telecommunications subsystems. The gondola and subsystems were refurbished and modified to meet the mission goals and desired future capabilities. A new frame was designed and built for the BRRISON mission. In addition to the various structural improvements to ensure the frame would survive the parachute return, the new frame was designed so that it could be scaled to accommodate up to a 1.5 m telescope, as well as the 0.8 m telescope used for the BRRISON mission. All the subsystems faced some slight modifications and refurbishing for the BRRISON mission. The gondola survived the return to the ground with minor damage and was retrieved successfully. It will be used for future balloon missions including BOPPS.
