ABSTRACT:
The AZ-EL embodiment of the reactionless actuator-gimbal system is a system of gimbal structure, reactionless actuators, a reaction wheel and momentum control means rotationally articulating a payload around axes approximately through the payload's mass center while transmitting minimum reaction torques to the support structure.
The EL-XEL embodiment of the reactionless actuator-gimbal system is a system of gimbal structure, and reactionless actuators rotationally articulating a payload around two axes approximately orthogonal to the payload line of sight and approximately through the payload's mass center while transmitting minimum reaction torques in response to periodic disturbances to the support structure.
The payload-gimbal elevation axis in both embodiments have:
