SAU&RON 15"

Separation Adapter Unit & Ride-On - 15-inches

OVERVIEW

High-stiffness 15-inch separation ring providing a standard, low-shock interface for compact small-sat missions that can't afford deployment surprises.

Configurable springs, redundant actuators and generous umbilical capacity keep your payload firmly restrained through launch and cleanly released on cue.
