Main characterizations :
SATLATCH is the best choice for an easy and secure integration on satellites, delivering exceptional performance and uncompromising durability in the harsh environment of space.
- Universal compatibility: Designed for a wide range of satellites and space systems, perfectly suited for cubesats.
- Reliability: Self-resetting mechanism with no need for ground support equipment (MGSE), capable of multiple deployment and locking cycles (up to 10).
- Optimized size and weight: Weighing less than 60 grams, SATLATCH is a lightweight solution that adds minimal load to your satellite.
- Advanced technical parameters: provides a deployment/locking torque of 0.1/0.2 N.m, with an adjustable release time from 4 to 100 seconds. Operates within a voltage range of 7 to 16.8V.
- Durability and strength: Tested to withstand extreme vibrations and shocks, with 25g sinusoidal and 50.9g random vibrations, and shocks up to 1000g.
