ABSTRACT:
An ejection system for payload deployment in a low gravitation exoatmospheric environment. In its broadest aspects, the ejection system includes an elongated launch tube; a payload mountable within the launch tube; and, a plurality of equiangularly spaced, axially aligned spring members secured to an outer surface of the payload. The launch tube includes pre-deployment payload securing means for securely maintaining a payload within the launch tube prior to depolyment. Each spring member provides a forward and an aft dynamic interface between the payload and the launch tube. The utilization of a plurality of spring members provides payload alignment relative to the launch tube prior to and throughout payload ejection.
