The Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH designed a Single Pico-Satellite Launcher for pico-satellites (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm). This mechanism allows for a defined separation of the satellite. Hence, the separation of the satellite is nearly momentum free.
The innovative development was successfully tested by the University of Applied Sciences Aachen with their satellite project COMPASS-ONE under zero gravity during a parabolic flight.
Four SPL's have been space-proofed during PSLV-C14 flight campaign with the successful release of the pico-satellites BEESat (Technical University Berlin), Swiss-Cube (École Politechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), UWE-2 (University of Würzburg) and the ITÜp-Sat1 (Technical University Istanbul).
