DCUBED

DCUBED makes space hardware: release actuators, solar arrays and deployables. Its tagline is space engineering made easy, and it describes its aim as accelerating space exploration with durable and affordable release actuators and solar arrays. Its site cites patented shape memory materials, proprietary origami structures and high-performance deployables, and sells many products through an e-commerce purchase and shipping process.

Products

• Hold-Down Release Mechanisms (HDRM): patented release actuators that secure delicate equipment during launch and release it safely on orbit, and that can be actuated and reset many times
• Rigid-deployable solar arrays: turnkey power generation subsystems including launch lock, substrate and solar cells, including ESPA-class panels
• Deployables and structures built on proprietary origami designs
• Shape memory material mechanisms for high-performance deployment
