About
The A-Deck Adapter System by Adaptive Launch Solutions (ALS) is a qualified, TRL-8 structural interface enabling small satellites (Pico, Nano, Micro, and Mini class) to ride as hosted payloads on Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles (EELVs). The system uses ALS-designed and qualified components compliant with multiple launch vehicle interface requirements and is rated to carry payloads up to 1,000 kg. It safely houses spacecraft through the mechanical and vibrational loads of launch while providing a clean, compliant separation interface, and integrates with the APSU sequencer for multi-manifest missions.
