A release system for the release of satellites from a launch vehicle is provided that includes: (i) a torsion bar, having a first end which is fixed by means of support means to a launch vehicle and is locked in rotation around a longitudinal axis of the torsion bar, and a second end which is connected by means of hinge means to the launch vehicle and is free to rotate around the longitudinal axis; (ii) at least one launch arm extending perpendicularly from the torsion bar and comprising (a) a torsion lever having a first end which is fixed to the torsion bar in an integral manner, and (b) a guide having a first end connected to a second end of the torsion lever, and a second free end; (iii) at least one slider which is fixed in an integral manner to a satellite to be launched and arranged to engage the guide in a sliding manner; and (iv) and a limit stop element designed to act upon the torsion lever to stop the rotation of the launch arm around the longitudinal axis.
