About

The Deployment System 500 kg is engineered for the smooth and shockless deployment of space satellites weighing up to 500 kg. A key feature of this system is the absence of pyrotechnics, which ensures a gentle separation from the upper stage of a launch vehicle, minimizing any potential shock to the satellite. This design choice enhances the reliability and safety of the deployment process. The system is capable of operating across a wide temperature range, from -60°C to +60°C, making it suitable for various space environments. It provides a controlled separation velocity and angular separation velocity to ensure precise orbital insertion.
