Spaceflight Unveils Its DecaPOD™ CubeSat Deployer

April 10, 2012 – Tukwila, WA. Spaceflight Inc. (Spaceflight) unveiled its DecaPOD™ CubeSat Deployer, a self-contained system for transporting ten 3U CubeSats to space and deploying them on orbit.  

“We have strong demand right now for the launch of 3U CubeSats on all of our launch opportunities,” said Jason Andrews, Spaceflight’s President and CEO.  “The DecaPOD™ is an integrated system solution with sequencer and camera to provide a turnkey solution to address this growing market need.”

The Spaceflight DecaPOD™ is an integrated container of ten 3U CubeSat dispensers.  The DecaPOD™ has an integrated sequencer that receives high-level commands from the launch vehicle’s avionics and automatically deploys the spacecraft.  The DecaPOD sequencer is also connected to a camera that provides still imagery, or video, of each deployment as requested by the customer.

The DecaPOD™ is being commercially developed by Spaceflight and is manifested on a mission in early 2013.  

“Spaceflight can accommodate two DecaPODs on each of the Spaceflight Secondary Payload System’s (SSPS) five ports,” continued Andrews. “We have customers looking to launch between twenty and one hundred CubeSats on a given mission to create a constellation that addresses a wide range of scientific and commercial applications.  Our DecaPOD™ solution addresses this market need.”
