About

The KosmoLab Deployer 16U SUPER LIGHT EXT features a unique construction and utilize composites to achieve significantly reduced mass, while also providing extended areas for CubeSat spacing. These deployers maintain both longitudinal and lateral clamping of the CubeSat, ensuring secure deployment. They are easily adaptable to specific requirements of your space satellite; customers can provide nonstandard CubeSat parameters to KosmoLab for an optimal solution. This product allows for the launch of useful space satellite payload instead of auxiliary deployer’s KGs, making it an efficient choice for CubeSat deployment.
