| Popis: | This article presents an innovative mechatronic design of a high-accuracy pointing mechanism for orbital laser communication terminals.The system is based on a dual-stage architecture and is miniaturized to fit nanosatellite-class spacecraft, aiming to enable optical communication on small-size space platforms. The focus is on control design aspects and on the performance assessment of an experimental prototype under emulated external environmental disturbances. |
