About
The Deployment System 50 kg is engineered for the smooth and shockless deployment of space satellites weighing up to 50 kg. A key feature of this system is the absence of pyrotechnics, which ensures a gentle separation process at the moment the satellite detaches from the upper stage of the launch vehicle. This design minimizes potential shock loads on the satellite, contributing to its operational integrity. The system is capable of separating satellites within 1 second, with a separation velocity ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 m/s and an angular separation velocity of no more than 2 degrees per second. It is designed to operate across a wide temperature range, from -60°C to +60°C, making it suitable for the harsh conditions of space environments.
