Most critical mechanism aboard station is rotary joint performing tracking function. Study conducted to determine optimum mechanism for rotary joint. Best mechanism is continuously rotating joint base on concept of multiple, discrete bearing-supported joint driven by self-loading, "pinch"-roller drive actuator. Applicable to solar-power-conversion units and earthbound solar-power farms and other related power-generation systems.
