About
The KosmoLab Deployment System 500 kg, also known as LSO-500, is designed for space satellites with a mass of up to 500 kg. A key feature of this system is the absence of pyrotechnics, which ensures a smooth and shockless deployment of space satellites. This non-pyrotechnic approach guarantees a gentle separation from the upper stage of the launch vehicle, minimizing any potential impact on the satellite. The system is engineered for reliable performance in the harsh space environment, operating effectively across a wide temperature range. It offers precise control over separation parameters, including velocity and angular velocity, to ensure optimal satellite deployment.
