Payload Separation Mechanisms

  • Non-pyro dispenser for 3kg class Nano satellites.
  • Satellite is kept inside a rectangular structure and locked by a swinging door.
  • Redundant heating element for wire fusing mechanism to initiate the separation and helical spring to jettison the satellite.
  • Micro Switches to monitor the door opening and reed switch to confirm satellite ejection.
  • No mass attached with satellite after separation.
  • Satellite size: 100 mm x 100 mm x 340 mm
  • Relative velocity :1.5 m/s
  • Satellite guided inside the system to reduce the tip off rate.
  • Operating temperature & Vacuum: 0°c to +65°C, <10 -5 torr
  • Power Supply
    Current: 4±02 Amp
    Voltage: 2.4 V
    Separation time: 5 sec
