Cal Poly students are participating in the development of a new class of picosatellite, the CubeSat. CubeSats are ideal as a development project for universities around the world. In additioin to their significant role in educating space scientists and engineers, CubeSats provide a low-cost platform for testing and space qualification of the next generation of small payloads in space. In expensive, commercial off-the- shelf components are used to demonstrate their ability to function in the space environment. A key innovation of the project is the development of a standard CubeSat deployer. This deployment system is capable of releasing a number of CubeSats as secondary payloads on a wide range of launchers. The standard deployer requires all CubeSats to conform to common physical requirements, and share a standard interface with the deployer.
