About
The EXOpod Nova is the most advanced CubeSat deployment system on the market. Available in 6U/8U, 12U, and 16U sizes configurable into smaller slots to accommodate CubeSats of any size from 0.25U to 16U.
EXOpod Nova expands CDS limits: CubeSats launching with Nova can increase lateral protrusion volume by 400% and mass by 30%, enabling a wider and more powerful array of satellite designs. The clamping mechanism secures satellites reliably during launch while access windows allow final integration steps.
Flight heritage: first launched in 2017. 39 missions flown, 510 CubeSats deployed. Compatible with all major launch vehicles. ITAR-free and manufactured in Germany.
