Advanced semiconductor and connectivity solutions helping create vehicles that are smarter, safer and more connected.
The Mechanics of Separation
Ejector Systems: Mechanical clamps or pyrotechnic bolts release, and spring-loaded pushers gently push the satellite away from the rocket stage to prevent collision.
Canister Deployers: Standardized boxes (like those used for CubeSats) open a door and use an internal spring to guide the miniature satellite into space.
Orbital Transfer Vehicles (OTVs): Proprietary space tugs, such as D-Orbit’s ION Satellite Carrier, host multiple customer payloads and phase them across multiple slots or altitudes after riding a common rocket.
