SlingShot

CubeSat Launch System & Hosted Payloads

ICD Battery Specs Deployment More

SLINGSHOT is a >450KM / 51.6d deployment solution that leverages the most reliable space infrastructure in the world — the ISS and associated visiting vehicles (Cygnus/Dragon). Slingshot offers a customer the ability fly in a soft bag and deploy up to conventional 12U CubeSats and hosted payloads that can vary in size.

Maximum deployer configuration for our slingshot launch system system is 12 x 6U deployers (72U). We can also fit more per U in a hosted payload configuration. Our system is very flexible in formats supported that include the following for a 6U deployer:

1U X 1U (P-POD, ISIPOD)
1U X 1U + "Tuna Can" (P-POD, ISIPOD)
1U X 2U (P-POD, ISIPOD)
1U X 2U + "Tuna Can" (P-POD, ISIPOD)
1U X 3U (P-POD, ISIPOD)
1U X 3U + "Tuna Can" (P-POD, ISIPOD)
2U X 2U (PSC Tab, P-POD, ISIPOD)
2U X 2U + "Dual Tuna Can" (P-POD, ISIPOD)
2U X 3U (PSC Tab, P-POD, ISIPOD)
2U X 3U + "Dual Tuna Can" (P-POD, ISIPOD)
