The hardware elements constituting the onboard experiments are described. The payload characteristics concerning the reflective Schmidt telescope, the primary detection system and the star mapper system are listed. The payload main assemblies are the two baffle assemblies, the telescope assembly, the focal plane assembly and the service electronics units. The payload functional and electrical block diagrams are presented. The spectral transmittance of the main detection chain, for lambda between 350 and 825 nanometers, is shown.
