Problem
Deploying CubeSats into orbit requires reliable separation systems to ensure they are released safely and accurately from the launch vehicle. Inadequate separation systems can lead to collisions, deployment failures, and mission compromise.
Solution
Aerospace Capital designs and manufactures CubeSat separation systems and launch containers that facilitate the integration, launch, and deployment of small satellites. Their solutions ensure secure CubeSat retention during launch and precise, low-velocity separation on orbit. The company's product line includes flight-proven CubeSat launch containers in 4x3U and 2x3U+6U configurations, as well as multi-channel programmable timing units (PTUs) for managing door release. Aerospace Capital also offers services for adapting CubeSats to launch requirements, integrating them into cluster launches, and arranging dedicated launch services.
Target Audience
Aerospace Capital serves CubeSat developers and integrators, launch service providers, and organizations seeking reliable and precise deployment of small satellites into orbit.
