Design and Verification of a Robust Release Mechanism for CubeSat Deployables

The design of a simple and reliable release mechanism for deployables on CubeSats is presented. The design relies on a thermal knife to sever a Dyneema thread, releasing a spring loaded deployable. Details of the design, technical challenges, and the results of in-orbit testing of the final design are described.
