The Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBALL) had its first scientific flight
in June 2009. The instrument is a 1 meter class balloon-borne telescope equipped with a
vacuum-ultraviolet integral field spectrograph intended to detect emission from the inter-
galactic medium at redshifts 0.3< z< 1.0. The scientific goals and the challenging
environment place strict constraints on the pointing and tracking systems of the gondola. In

The Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBALL) had its first scientific flight in June 2009. The instrument is a 1 meter class balloon-borne telescope equipped with a vacuum-ultraviolet integral field spectrograph intended to detect emission from the inter-galactic medium at redshifts 0.3 < z < 1.0. The scientific goals and the challenging environment place strict constraints on the pointing and tracking systems of the gondola. In this manuscript we briefly review our pointing requirements, discuss the methods and solutions used to meet those requirements, and present the aspect reconstruction results from the first successful scientific flight.
