Could do it by hand, if you’re patient enough. Again: not like the satellite has much say in the matter. It’s gonna be at a specific point, at a specific time. You don’t even need to cover the mirrors, since the sun won’t be at the right angle for all of them to converge until that intended moment.
Yeah, you just need a bunch of geared stepper motors and a big computer. The atmosphere is the reason it almost certainly won’t work
