Abstract
The pointing of at least two sensors (61, 62) is ensured through a Luneberg lens (50). A first frame (20) pivoting on a support (10), supports in pivoting manner a second frame (30), which can in turn support the lens (50). The second frame (30, 40) supports at least one rail (41) for guiding the sensors in the vicinity of the focal surface of the lens. Control means (90) act on the mount as a function of data concerning the position of satellites to be sighted. They are arranged so as to temporarily stop the sighting of one of the satellites, bring the mount into an opposite position on the focal surface, whilst continually sighting the other satellite, and resume the sighting of both satellites, the two sensors then being in an inverted position on the rail.
