SlingShot

CubeSat Launch System & Hosted Payloads

Slingshot is a 500KM / 51.6d deployment solution that leverages the most reliable space infrastructure in the world — the International Space Station 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 sizes. Therefore, a payload can grow by length and width but not height beyond 229mm. A maximum deployer configuration for our system is 12 x 6U deployers (72U). Additionally, we can 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)

Mace

MicroSat Launch System

Like Slingshot, Mace uses the same concept of operations except for the final integration. The biggest requirement driver on the deploy options are driven by the dimensions of the satellite. If the satellite can fit through the Japanese Airlock then it can ride up in a soft bag on Cygnus or Dragon. If not, then the satellite will fly in the Dragon Trunk. The microsat will either exit the ISS via the Japanese Airlock or via the Dragon trunk and attach to the outside of Cygnus. Same deployment profile exists:

500KM / 51.6d

Equalizer

CubeSat Deployer

Equalizer is a U.S. built deployer that has a preliminary mass around 7Kg and supports 3U, 6U, and 12U configurations. Also, we have the capability to custom build deployers if needed by a customer. The equalizer has the following characteristics:

Bottom and Back Mount Capable
Resettable Release Mechanisms
Rear and Forward Position Sensors
ISI-POD/PPOD Compatible
Pusher Plate Anti-vibration System
Can be Configured for 2x6U
Can be Configured for 1x12U
Rail and Tab Formats
Smooth Internal Walls
Totally Enclosed

Rifle

Separation System

Rifle is a U.S. built separation system. Below are Rifle attributes:

Lightest Separation System in the Market – maximizes sat mass
Zero tipoff rate – no spring/CG tuning
Uses Heritage Technology – lowers deployment risk
Resettable Release Mechanisms – repeatable testing
Stowed and Release Sensors – positive feedback
Reconfigurable to Smaller Diameter Configurations – flexibility
American Made – reduces ITAR concerns
1U X 1U (P-POD, ISIPOD)
