Abstract
Nanosatellites are small satellites used in space missions. In order to reach the aims of the missions, special high tech equipment such as small manipulators is used in nanosatellites. In this paper the authors focus on the problem of communication between the agents of the swarm. A novel design piezoelectric manipulator driven by piezoelectric actuator is presented. The main task for the manipulator is the positioning precision of the laser beam, used for the communication between the agents. The laser beam must be deflected and positioned accurately from one nanosatellite to another. Laser scanning/deflecting accuracy and dynamic characteristics of the manipulator are investigated experimentally.
