MobyPointer is an high precision fully autonomous aligning mechanism for payloads. The MobyPointer is specifically designed for ground to space communications, it carries out an autonomous tracking towards the spacecraft. The system can be configured to be completely trasportable and can operate without an external power supply. The data received from the spacecraft ca be trasmitted to a remote control station.
