The EXOpod cubesat deployer is the most advanced cubesat deployment system on the market. EXOpod is available in 12U and 16U sizes, and can be configured with up to four independent slots. EXOpods have a number of features which expand the limits of the Cubesat Design Specification (CDS):
EXOpod has some other unique advantages:
Easily adaptable to any launch vehicle.
Cubesats inside EXOpods are secured in place once the door is closed.
EXOpods have been used for cubesats ranging from 0.25U to 16U in size.
The EXOpod can be deployed and locked again in minutes.
Cubesats in EXOpods can be heavier than CDS limits.
Windows on two sides of the deployer provide access to the cubesat within, useful for inspection, testing and RBF pin removal after integration.
EXOpods have been used to launch 80 cubesats since 2017.
The system is not subject to export restrictions of any kind.
