Teal Ruby is an advanced Earth-orbiting sensor that was developed to demonstrate the ability to detect airborne vehicles from space by use of infrared mosaic technology. The pointing system, which is able to direct the sensor at any designated target within the pointing envelope constraints and hold it steady with very low drift and jitter, represents a substantial increase in capability over earlier spaceborne systems. This pointing system, and the approach objectives, are examined.
