1U Quad CubeSat Boom Deployer
1U CubeSat boom deployer carrying four booms with wire management, deploying to 3.0 m.
Description
The 1U Quad CubeSat Boom Deployer is a member of CTD's composite boom and CubeSat boom deployer family, which CTD describes as the smallest deployers on the market. The unit packs four booms with wire management into a 1U envelope and deploys to 3.0 m.
Booms use overlapping slit-tube construction, or CTD's patented Slit-Lock for maximum payload stability. Boom materials are tailored to the mission: carbon fibre composite for ultimate stiffness and thermal stability, fiberglass for RF transparency, and hybrid metal-composite for antenna elements.
CTD also offers a 1/4U CubeSat boom deployer in the same family, engineered for maximum, efficient stowage.
