EL-POD (Expended Lightweight Deployer)

EL-POD (Expended Lightweight Deployer) is a CubeSat/small-satellite deployer from DALRO Aerospace, designed with an emphasis on minimal mass and thickness while maintaining reliable satellite fixation and separation during launch. The 3U configuration is currently available, with 6U and 16U variants under development to support additional mission classes. As with DALRO’s other deployer products, the EL-POD design targets minimized satellite rotation during ejection to improve deployment reliability and satellite survivability after separation. A test flight for EL-POD is estimated for 2027, and DALRO is recruiting partners for this test launch campaign. EL-POD is intended for CubeSat and small-satellite operators requiring a lightweight dispenser solution compatible with a range of launch vehicles supported by DALRO’s international partner network in Japan, the United States, and Europe.
