Cover Story: The on-board tilting mirror calibration mechanism (TMCM) has a mechanical driving part that helps to achieve the main functional modes of deployment and stow when calibrating a spaceborne imaging sensor. In general, it is necessary to consider a holding and release device (HRM) in the mechanism design, to secure the structural safety of the mechanical driving part in severe launch environments. However, in this study, we proposed a novel design strategy based on mass balancing, to guarantee mechanical safety on the driving part of the TMCM, although the implementation of the HRM was not considered in the design. The effectiveness of the proposed design was experimentally verified via launch vibration and life cycle tests, etc.View this paper
