Redwire XPOD CubeSat Deployer

XPOD is one of the custom rideshare adapter configurations delivered by Redwire’s Engineering Solutions group as part of its payload adapter product line. On the missions where it flew, XPOD was engineered as a custom adapter designed to host three XPOD CubeSat dispensers on a single launch-vehicle interface, drawing on Redwire’s decades of experience developing flight payload adapters from concept to delivery, including deep knowledge of launch vehicle, separation system, and payload interface standards.

Redwire’s broader payload-adapter product family, of which XPOD is a member alongside LoFF, CubeCone, and CubeStack, has flown on missions including ORS-3, Spaceflight SSO-A, SpaceX Rideshare missions, Spaceflight GTO-1, the SpaceIL Lunar Lander mission, and SSL primary / AFRL secondary payload integrations.
