Satellite with an optical adjustment device and related methods

An optical adjustment device for at least one optical component comprising:

• a base;
• an adjustment flexure carried by the base and moveable between an unflexed neutral position and a flexed first position, and between the unflexed neutral position and a flexed second position;
• a rotatable drive shaft carried by the base;
• a drive cam carried by the rotatable drive shaft;
• a first cam follower operatively coupled between the drive cam and the adjustment flexure to selectively move the adjustment flexure between the unflexed neutral position and the flexed first position;
• and
• a second cam follower operatively coupled between the drive cam and the adjustment flexure to selectively move the adjustment flexure between the unflexed neutral position and the flexed second position.

A method for making an optical adjustment device for at least one optical component comprising:

• mounting an adjustment flexure to a base, the adjustment flexure being moveable between an unflexed neutral position and a flexed first position, and between the unflexed neutral position and a flexed second position;
• mounting a rotatable drive shaft to the base;
• mounting a drive cam to the rotatable drive shaft;
• operatively coupling a first cam follower between the drive cam and the adjustment flexure to selectively move the adjustment flexure between the unflexed neutral position and the flexed first position;
• and
• operatively coupling a second cam follower between the drive cam and the adjustment flexure to selectively move the adjustment flexure between the unflexed neutral position and the flexed second position.
