“…The launch pad for the tethered balloon was located on the ice of Lake Baikal at a distance of about 1 km from the shore in a place with coordinates N 51 • 47 49 , E 104 • 23 19 , 455 m above sea level. This place is located a few kilometers from the Baikal neutrino telescope [9]. The site of the SPHERE experiment is accessible by the Circum-Baikal railway, which is currently rarely used; its presence did not influence the measurements.…”

The SPHERE-2 balloon-borne detector designed for extensive air shower (EAS) observations using EAS optical Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation ("Cherenkov light"), reflected from the snow-covered surface of Lake Baikal is described. We briefly discuss the concept behind the reflected Cherenkov light method, characterize the conditions at the experimental site and overview the construction of the tethered balloon used to lift the SPHERE-2 telescope above the surface. This paper is mainly dedicated to a detailed technical description of the detector, including its optical system, sensitive elements, electronics, and data acquisition system (DAQ). The results of some laboratory and field tests of the optical system are presented.
