EXOpod AIR is the lightest CubeSat deployer on the market, engineered to maximize payload efficiency without compromising safety or reliability. Leveraging advanced materials, optimized manufacturing processes, and more than 12 years of CubeSat deployment heritage, AIR combines the operational simplicity of EXOpod Nova with an ultra-light structure that preserves performance and cost efficiency.
The system builds on the proven EXOpod family, which has successfully deployed over 400 CubeSats in orbit with flawless execution. EXOpod AIR is specifically designed for next-generation small launch vehicles, orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs), and missions where every gram matters.
CubeSats can be safely integrated within minutes, making AIR particularly well suited for constellation missions and rapid launch campaign timelines. A signature feature of the EXOpod architecture is its clamping retention mechanism, which securely holds the CubeSat in place during launch and handling.
Removable access windows allow last-minute interaction with the spacecraft, including RF tag removal, software updates, and battery charging. As with all Exolaunch products, EXOpod AIR is ITAR-free, ensuring unrestricted global availability.
