Abstract: Various exemplary systems for transporting and switching optical components are disclosed. The system includes carriers disposed about a housing and configured to follow a carrier guide system to switch optical components at the optical prescription center of the optical path. In one example, a device is disclosed that reduces the packaging form factor through the use of carriers rotated about an inverted radius along a track adjacent to a limiting peripheral boundary. The system and device are configured to switch optical components while minimizing the form factor of the optical device. Methods of accomplishing these tasks are also disclosed.

Abstract: An optical assembly includes a primary mirror, a secondary mirror, and an optical steering system configured to support and position the primary mirror and the secondary mirror. The optical steering system includes a base and a yoke rotatably coupled to the base. The yoke is configured to support the primary mirror to rotate the primary mirror about a first axis and to support a secondary mirror to rotate the secondary mirror about a second axis. The yoke further is configured to rotate the primary and secondary mirror about a third axis. The secondary mirror is configured to move from a stowed position in which the optical assembly is positioned to receive an image from a field of view to a deployed position in which the optical assembly is positioned to receive an image from a field of regard.

Abstract: An on-gimbal telescope pointing assembly can comprise a head mirror operable to rotate to adjust an elevation angle of the pointing assembly and an all-reflective telescope operable to rotate to adjust an azimuth angle of the pointing assembly. The all-reflective telescope can comprise a fold mirror defining an output coude path of the all-reflective telescope. The pointing assembly can be operable to rotate about the coude path such that receiving optics can remain fixed while the pointing assembly rotates.
