Quadro Versa

Quadro Versa is an Exolaunch four-point microsatellite separation system for orbital deployment hardware serving rideshare plate interfaces and larger microsatellite classes.^[1][2] Configuration ranges include 24 by 16 inch to 40 by 40 inch and 24 by 24 inch to 40 by 40 inch footprints.^[1][2][3] Quadro Versa uses four hold-down and release mechanisms with mechanically synchronized spring-driven release and pusher-arm deployment.^[1] The S-adapter mass is 0.54 kg per point, the four S-adapter points total 2.2 kg, and L-adapter mass ranges from 11.6 kg to 17.3 kg depending on X and Y size.^[1] The interface uses 16 M12 or 1/2-20 fasteners, and maximum load per release mechanism is specified as plus or minus 44 kN axial, plus or minus 37 kN shear, and 1200 Nm bending.^[1] The nominal deploy signal is 28 VDC for 0.5 s, and average separation time is 0.1 s.^[1] Payload class is up to 1000 kg, with larger satellites over 1000 kg covered by larger footprints.^[1][2] Quadro Versa is qualified and delivered to customers awaiting 2026 flights, with first flight planned for H1 2026.^[4][2]
