About
The Tulip from ISISPACE is engineered to interface between the launch vehicle structure and payloads. It comes with a payload fairing envelope diameter of approximately 2 meters, providing various configuration options for diverse mission requirements.
Tulip includes up to six modular petals, each capable of housing microsatellites or deployers. Its central hub provides an option to attach a microsatellite, maximising payload efficiency. The petal configuration allows scalable hosting: two petals (~38 kg), four petals (70.1 kg), or six petals (~100 kg).
The interface to the launch vehicle uses 36x D24 thread holes, while the payload interface on both the Central Module and Petals Module uses 24x D15 or 12x D8 thread holes. Tulip can accommodate a wide range of mission configurations from rideshare to dedicated multi-satellite deployment missions.
