About

The KosmoLab 3U Deployer is designed for the safe transport and deployment of 3U-class CubeSats. It is compatible with a range of launch vehicles including Angara, Soyuz/Fregat, PSLV, and Start-1M, among others. The deployer can be customized to meet the specific requirements of a CubeSat, with modifications available for both 3U and 4U versions. Key features include a maximum satellite mass capacity of 6 kg, a rapid separation time of less than or equal to 1 second, and a controlled separation velocity ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 m/s. The angular separation velocity is kept low, at less than or equal to 2 degrees per second, to ensure stable deployment. The deployer is built to operate in a wide temperature range, from -60°C to +60°C.
