Tpod M CubeSat Test Fixture

The Tpod M (TPOD-M) is a CubeSat test fixture developed by Launch42, designed to support integration and test operations for 6U and 8U CubeSats. Each unit is fully assembled and configured for the customer’s selected CubeSat size before delivery, allowing test engineers and lab technicians to immediately begin functional and fit checks without additional setup work. The package includes a dedicated user manual written for test engineers and lab technicians, covering safe handling, configuration, and operational procedures for the fixture. Launch42 also provides three hours of remote engineering support covering setup, integration, and question-and-answer sessions, helping customer teams get the fixture into productive use quickly and correctly. Delivery within the EU is included in the standard offering, with a quoted lead time of four weeks from order. As part of Launch42’s broader hardware line — which also includes the Tpod S and Tpod L fixtures plus the Kraken CubeSat deployer and Mercury separation systems — the Tpod M gives CubeSat developers and integrators an off-the-shelf way to validate mechanical fit, deployment interfaces, and ground-handling procedures for mid-size CubeSat buses ahead of launch campaigns.
