ABSTRACT:
This specification discloses an apparatus and method for supporting and moving an antenna load when tracking a satellite in a synchronous orbit. The apparatus includes three elongated supports all of which are attached to the antenna with couplings having a two degree of freedom of movement and two of which supports are attached to the ground with couplings having a two degree of freedom of movement. A stabilizing member coupled between the two supports having a two degree of movement connection with the ground rigidifies the support apparatus. Adjusting the longitudinal length of the elongated supporting members permits the antenna to be simply and effectively positioned over a wide angular range.
