Three 1U CubeSats beside a 3U (Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer
Nanosatellites or cubesats are typically launched and deployed from a mechanism called a Poly-PicoSatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD) mounted directly on a launch vehicle. This is the first time NASA has mounted a P-POD on a microsatellite to eject a cubesat.

The Poly-Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD) has undergone a series of revisions over the years. The latest revision, described in this Master's Thesis, incorporates new capabilities like EMI shielding, an inert gas purge system, and an electrical interface to the CubeSats after they are integrated into the P-POD.

The Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD) is a standard deployment system that ensures all CubeSat developers conform to common physical requirements. The P-POD plays a critical role as the interface between the launch vehicle and CubeSats. The P-POD utilizes a tubular design and can hold up to 340.5mm x 100mm x 100mm of deployable hardware.

The Poly Picosat Orbital Deployer (P-POD) is a standard deployment system, which reduces the satellite development time for Cubesat compliant devices. This standard deployer ensures that all Cubesat developers may conform to some common physical requirements. The P-POD plays a critical role as the interface between the launch vehicle and Cubesats.

For the NPP mission, there will be three Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployers (P-PODs) aboard the Delta II rocket that will ferry NPP into space. Each P-POD is capable of deploy-ing up to three CubeSats. Five CubeSat proj-ects were selected for this mission, as some are larger than the minimum size.

GRIFEX was released into space by a Poly-PicoSatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD) mounted on the upper stage of the Delta II rocket about 107 minutes after launch. Amateur radio collaborators in Europe were the first to detect the GRIFEX signal beacon about two hours after release. GRIFEX was put into an approximately 650 km circular, polar, low.

The CubeSat launch concept selected permits the launch of multiple secondary payloads which may be stacked into a launcher tube, called P-POD (Poly-Picosatellite Orbital Deployer), developed by CalPoly. P-POD is a standard deployment system that ensures all CubeSat developers conform to common physical requirements.
