  • Satellite with an optical adjustment device and related methods
    Patent number: 12698100
    Abstract: A satellite may include an optical component, and an optical adjustment device coupled to the optical component. The optical adjustment device may include a base, and an adjustment flexure carried by the base. The adjustment flexure may be moveable between an unflexed neutral position and a flexed first position, and between the unflexed neutral position and a flexed second position. The optical adjustment device may further include a rotatable drive shaft carried by the base, a drive cam carried by the rotatable drive shaft, a first cam follower and a second cam follower. The cam may cause the first and second cam followers to selectively move the adjustment flexure between the unflexed neutral position and the flexed first flexed position or the second flexed position.
