ABSTRACT:
A device for imparting rotational movement to a satellite during discharge from an adapter of a launcher. The satellite includes a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis passing through a center of gravity. The first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are mutually perpendicular. The device includes at least one line dismountably attached to a first point on the satellite and a first point on the adapter. The at least one line is attached to the satellite and the adapter such that the at least one line imparts a rotational movement to the satellite as the satellite is discharged and separates from the adapter with a discharge velocity in a direction along the first axis. A lock dismountably attaches the at least one line to the satellite.
