EXOtube is a launch-vehicle-agnostic, adaptive load-bearing payload adapter designed to host and deploy the full spectrum of small satellite architectures, from CubeSats to large microsatellites up to 1,000 kg. By providing a unified structural stack for payloads, EXOtube maximizes flexibility for mission planners and significantly streamlines integration and launch operations for partners.
Built as a modular interface that unites Exolaunch’s entire deployment ecosystem, EXOtube enables highly customizable smallsat cluster configurations that can include a variety of separation and deployment systems within a single stack. Its adaptive design supports rapid adaptation to mission requirements while remaining compatible with a broad range of launchers, from small launch vehicles to medium- and heavy-class rockets.
Designed to simplify both payload accommodation and mission execution, EXOtube provides a robust structural backbone for complex rideshare missions and serves as a flexible platform that accommodates future mission needs — all while maintaining seamless integration with existing deployment hardware and services.
