INLS 3U

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
