This paper examines the use of additive manufacturing and the composite SLS material Windform XT to build a 2U CubeSat with an integrated Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) propulsion for space flight. The flight of this satellite is intended to examine and test the use of additive manufacturing utilizing Windform XT to produced CubeSat's, as well as certifying a warm gas propulsion subsystems with a magnetic stabilization for CubeSat orbital altitude adjustment. ...The flight of this satellite is intended to examine and test the use of additive manufacturing utilizing Windform XT to produced CubeSat's, as well as certifying a warm gas propulsion subsystems with a magnetic stabilization for CubeSat orbital altitude adjustment. ...The flight of this satellite is intended to examine and test the use of additive manufacturing utilizing Windform XT to produced CubeSat's, as well as certifying a warm gas propulsion subsystems with a magnetic stabilization for CubeSat orbital altitude adjustment. The RAMPART project uses additive manufacturing techniques to build the satellite structures, propellant tanks, printed circuit board cages, solar panel frames, antenna deployment mechanisms, etc. at a fraction of the time of current methods.

The Unipod separation system successfully flown first time in PSLV C56 Mission for the deployment of three foreign satellites namely Nulion, Galassia-2 and SCOOB II. CubeSat separation system consists of a structure housing the satellite, Holding and release mechanism (HDRM), rattling arresting mechanism, satellite ejection mechanism and movement arresting/ locking mechanism. ...The system was designed and developed for accommodating four satellites with a maximum mass of 6.0 kg, meeting the CubeSat Design Specification (CDS). Wire fusing system is used as HDRM. Helical compression spring with pusher plate is used for ejecting the satellite.
