This paper details the lessons learned during the testing and flight of a 3U modular payload in an innovative new dispenser. The Canisterized Satellite Dispenser (CSD) has many features beyond typical CubeSat dispensers. The primary benefit is the payloads are preloaded to the dispenser, creating a secure load path that is modelable and facilitates accurate prediction of the payload's flight environments. The Polar Orbiting Passive Atmospheric Calibration Spheres (POPACS) payload flew aboard the inaugural Falcon 9 v1.1 and were successfully placed into orbit.
