An antenna pointing mechanism for large reflector antennas on direct broadcasting communication satellites was built and tested. After listing the requirements and constraints for this equipment the model is described, and performance figures are given. Futhermore, results of the qualification level tests, including functional, vibrational, thermovacuum, and accelerated life tests are reported. These tests were completed successfully.
