Dispenser Descriptions and Overview

ORBITAL ENGINEERING offers two lines of dispensers which is 3U, W6U. 3U sizes dispenser had launched by H3 rocket at Feb-17 2024.These dispensers are simple which reduces cost by maintaining part commonality. Constructed of carbon fiber and aluminum, our dispensers provide launch cost savings to rockets by minimizing dispenser mass. In addition to offering low empty mass, our dispensers also offer customizable deploy velocities. These dispensers fully enclose the hosted CubeSat. The dispenser door is actuated via a non-explosive release mechanism (Simple Pin Puller) ; when initiated, the release mechanism opens a door, which locks in place when fully open to allow the CubeSat to be safely ejected into orbit. Volute springs and a push plate impose a force on the back of the CubeSat, which is then guided along smooth, rails until it fully exits the dispenser. A door switch indicates that the door has successfully opened, and provides a telemetry signal to Rocket to indicate successful deployment.
