This is the second paper in the series of four works dedicated to design of parallel mechanisms for orientation of the space observatory “Millimetron”. In this article the authors stated a problem of “Millimetron” observatory's antenna orientation with the use of a parallel hexapod-based multi-sectional manipulator. The manipulator was designed in Solid Works software package. The Manipulator's 3D-model created in NX5 with the use of “Kinematic Simulation of Mechanisms” software package is introduced in this work. Software for solving direct and inverse kinematic problems was designed. A model of the guided five-section manipulator developed in MatLab Simulink software package is also described.
