The spin ejector was developed as a simple and reliable mechanism to spin and deploy small payloads from an Earth orbiting platform. It is one component of a complete system for retaining a payload during vehicle ascent, releasing the payload for deployment, deploying the payload, and securing the payload canister after deployment. The complete system was designed, fabricated and qualified for flight in just over a year, with the flight article delivered to the launch site in October 1987. The complete system is briefly described, and then the focus in on the deployment mechanism (spin ejector) design concept and test program.
