Paper Abstract
We have been developing a rotating mechanism and a linear motion mechanism for their usage in contamination
sensitive space telescopes. They both are needed for ~1.4 meter optical telescope and its focal plane instrument onboard
SOLAR-C, the next-generation spaceborne solar observatory following Hinode. Highly reliable long life performance,
low outgassing properties, and low level of micro-vibration are required along with their scientific performance. With
the proto-type mechanisms, the long life performance and outgassing properties of the mechanisms have been evaluated
in vacuum chambers. The level of micro-vibration excited during the operations of the rotating mechanism was
measured by operating it on the Kestler table. This paper provides the overall descriptions of our mechanism
developments.
