This paper 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.

Abstract
This paper 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.
