Clever motor assembly.   Be fun to use that same mechanism for a solar panel.  
I may have to give that a try.  
So, it does steer mechanically.  Almost has to to maximize the gain.  

Looks like roughly 2000 patches.  
Looks like roughly 500 chips feeding them.  So a 4 patch array fed by a T/R-LNA 
- power amp.  4-6 of those clusters fed into a larger chip that probably does 
the phasing for steering.

So the antenna is just a whole lot of simple in a very massive scale.
