Abstract
We present the status of on-going detector development efforts for our joint NASA/CNES balloon-borne UV multi-object spectrograph, the Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall-2; FB-2). FB-2 demonstrates a new UV detector technology, the delta-doped Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD), in a low risk suborbital environment, to prove the performance of EMCCDs for future space missions and Technology Readiness Level (TRL) advancement. EMCCDs can be used in photon counting (PC) mode to achieve extremely low readout noise ($
