Levitating support and positioning system

A levitating support and positioning system for orienting an extra-terrestrial electromagnetic energy reflecting device, comprising:

• a reflective member having a surface reflective of a predetermined bandwidth of electromagnetic energy disposed on a first side of said reflective member, said reflective member being formed by a metallic film having a thickness in the approximating range of 100 to 2000 Angstroms;
• a substrate member coupled to a second side of said reflective member, said second side being opposite said first side;
• support means fixedly coupled to a perimeter portion of said substrate member for providing a displaceable support for said reflective member;
• means for levitating said support means above a base surface by repulsion of magnetic fields;
• and,
• control means coupled to said levitating means for varying a magnetic field strength of said magnetic fields at predetermined positional locations, whereby said reflective surface is oriented in a predetermined direction, said levitating means including (1) a plurality of electromagnetic assemblies and (2) a plurality of electrical drive circuits electrically coupled to said control means, each of said plurality of electrical drive circuits having an output for supplying a predetermined current signal to a respective one of said plurality of electromagnetic assemblies responsive to a command signal generated by said control means.
