ABSTRACT:
Stabilization of pointing and stabilization mirror systems is provided by using the inherent moment of inertia of the mirrors. Inertially stabilized mirror systems have mirror orientations and rotation axes such that the mirrors reflect incident radiation parallel to the rotation axes. One mirror is provided for each axis of stabilization. In order to maintain stabilization in space for incident radiation to the mirror, any prior mirrors are provided with rotation axes parallel to the stabilization axis.
