About
The KosmoLab 16U LIGHT deployer is touted as the most lightweight deployer available, aiming to maximize the useful payload mass for space satellites by reducing the deployer’s own weight. It features a unique construction utilizing composites, which contributes to its significantly reduced mass. The design also provides extended areas for CubeSat spacing while maintaining both longitudinal and lateral clamping of the CubeSat. The “LIGHT” series deployers are adaptable to specific requirements, allowing for modifications based on non-standard CubeSat parameters provided by the customer. This flexibility ensures an optimal solution for various satellite configurations.
