The cluster of moving instruments

The moving instruments are the Optical Camera (OCAM) and the X-ray telescope (XTEL). Both instruments are mounted on a moving structure that will allow the rapid movement in order to refine the GRB position. Reaction wheels will be necessary in order to stabilize the satellite after the rapid movements.
