Description
Summary:The design and principle of operation of a mirror system that was designed for the automatic guidance of a spectrometer field of view with an aperture of 25 mm at the Sun and tracking the Sun with an accuracy of up to 1 mrad are described. The spectrometer will be installed on a landing platform on the surface of Mars. A prototype with a mass of 900 g was manufactured and tested.
