  • Abstract
    This paper presents the Antenna tracking system leading to a significant improvement of antenna pointing accuracy, which has been developed by Astrium and first flies onboard KASAT. Efficiency and robustness of the antenna tracking system will be presented showing the ability to remove large transient errors either from station keeping manoeuvre or sun eclipse transition.
