E和B实验（EBEX）是一个球载望远镜，旨在探测宇宙微波背景中由原始引力波、引力透镜和银河尘埃排放产生的偏振信号。EBEX于2013年1月完成了对南极洲的11天飞行，数据分析正在进行中。EBEX采用两个星星相机，以实现其实时和飞行后的指向要求。我们编写了一个名为STARS的软件应用程序来操作、命令和收集来自每个星星相机的数据，并将它们与主飞行计算机连接。我们特别注意使软件对潜在的飞行故障具有鲁棒性。我们报告的实施，测试，并成功地在飞行性能的星。
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to probe polarization signals in the CMB resulting from primordial gravitational waves, gravitational lensing, and Galactic dust emission. EBEX completed an 11 day flight over Antarctica in January 2013 and data analysis is underway. EBEX employs two star cameras to achieve its real-time and post-flight pointing requirements. We wrote a software application called STARS to operate, command, and collect data from each of the star cameras, and to interface them with the main flight computer. We paid special attention to make the software robust against potential in-flight failures. We report on the implementation, testing, and successful in flight performance of STARS.
