Product Name: Antenna Pointing Mechanisms
Manufacturer Name: Moog Inc.
Product Description: A common movable element on spacecraft is the communication (or radar/microwave) antenna. Antenna Pointing Mechanisms (APMs) have long been used to perform the vital function of pointing the antenna bore sight to its target and tracking to maintain the RF link to the spacecraft. APMs are typically two-axis gimbals, providing options for full hemispherical coverage or configurations ideal for tracking satellites in Low-Earth Orbits (LEO). These mechanisms include several approaches to electrical cable management and may integrate RF rotary joints if needed.
