About

The KosmoLab Deployers 4U are specifically engineered for the safe transport and precise deployment of 4U-class CubeSats. These deployers are compatible with a range of launch vehicles, including Angara, Soyuz/Fregat, PSLV, and Start-1M, indicating their versatility and adherence to industry standards. Customization options are available to ensure the deployer perfectly matches the specific requirements of the CubeSat it will carry. This flexibility allows for integration with diverse satellite designs and mission profiles. The deployer is designed to operate across a wide temperature range, from -60°C to +60°C, making it suitable for the harsh conditions of space. It ensures a rapid separation time of less than 1 second and a controlled separation velocity between 0.5 and 2.0 m/s, with an angular separation velocity of less than 2 °/s, minimizing any potential for collision or uncontrolled movement during deployment.
