About
Quadro Versa expands Exolaunch’s microsatellite separation systems with a four-point offering tailored to satellites weighing up to 1000 kg on SpaceX Rideshare plates. Designed for compatibility with SpaceX four-point interfaces, it is easily scalable from 24″×24″ up to 40″×40″ and can serve satellites over 1000 kg with larger footprints.
Quadro Versa offers unrivaled strength, stiffness, and reliability for four-point satellites of any size. A single deploy signal simultaneously releases all four mechanical locks, producing an average tip-off rate of 0.6°/s on all three axes. Deployment is entirely shock-free with no pyrotechnics.
The lock mechanism and pusher arms carry the full Quadro Arrow flight heritage. ITAR-free, made in Germany. First flight: H1 2026.
