The design, development, assembly and testing of a Hemispherical Pointing Mechanism (HPM) are described. The equipment is designed for pointing the Inter Orbital Communications (IOC) antenna on the European Recoverable Carrier (EURECA) spacecraft. The EURECA mission is to include microgravity experiments. The HPM design includes features to reduce microgravity disturbance to the host spacecraft caused by operation of the HPM. The specifications of the mechanism and the results of vibration, environmental, wear and thermal vacuum tests carried out on the mechanism are described.
