Quadro FleX
First flight in H2, 2026
Four-Point Microsatellite Separation System
Quadro FleX is an HDRM (hold-down and release mechanism) separation system from exolaunch for microsatellites weighing up to 1,000 kg. Derived from the proven quadro versa architecture, flex delivers the same reliable performance in a single hold-down point, providing exceptional flexibility for virtually any satellite footprint.
Each Quadro FleX unit incorporates a redundant actuator and integrated pusher spring, leveraging the flight-proven heritage of the Quadro and CarboNIX product families. Designed to meet Falcon 9 four-point interface requirements, FleX is also compatible with other launch vehicles, making it an ideal solution for missions where mass, volume, or footprint flexibility drive spacecraft design.
Small Footprint
Since the four hold-down points are not mechanically connected, Quadro FleX occupies an exceptionally small footprint
Low Mass
Optimized for mass, Quadro offers the lightest flyaway mass of any four-point system
Shock-Free Deployment
No pyrotechnics ensures your payload remains intact after deployment
Maximum Flexibility
Suitable for any conceivable footprint, including three-, four-and six-point arrangements. The pusher arm is also available in multiple configurations to match your needs
Fast Reset Time
Flight-proven, simple and robust magnetic locks are quick to reset during testing or at the launch site
Flight Heritage
Critical subsystems like HDRM, lock mechanism and pusher arm have flight heritage across dozens of missions
ITAR-Free
Quadro is not subject to export restrictions of any kind
