Abstract: A two-axis antenna-stabilizing control device which does not need a level sensor has been developed. The control incorporates a zero-servo method which zeros two gyro outputs by rotating an antenna with both an azimuth motor and an elevation-servo motor. In experiments using a Scorsby Table, pointing errors of less than a few degrees have been confirmed.
