宇宙用小型ジンバ／レ機構の研究開発

摘要

Antenna pointing mechanism is used to maintain the communication link between spacecraft and ground tracking station.Antenna motion relative to spacecraft is controlled by gimbal mechanisms. Two-axis gimballing is commonly used forspace applications. Recently, high bit-rate data transmission capability for small satellite is required and light-weightsmall antenna pointing mechanism will be expected to development. This paper described the overview of the small X-Yaxis gimbal mechanism for small satellite.
