Separation Adapter Unit & Ride-On - 8-inches
High-stiffness 8-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.

15 pin, negative insertion force connector. Up to 3 A per pin.
Up to 4 connectors can be added around the ring. Typically they are used for grounding, power, and data separately.
Every ring is tuned for the highest standards in stiffness and durability, so your payload is secured through launch and deployed with pinpoint accuracy.
Decades of launchcampaign experience are combined with the same hardware expertise used to design our high-performance deployment systems, so challenges are identified early, resolved rapidly and documented clearly for your next mission milestone.
Your dedicated launch services team coordinates payloads, interfaces and campaign timelines across partners to give you a single, technically fluent point of contact who keeps launch opportunities qualified, open and realistic for your mission.
It's your mission,
your challenges,
your achievements.
