The SpaceX Falcon-class RideShare Adapter (RSA), developed by Design_Net Engineering, provides cost effective, rapid integration rideshare for science, technology, and education payloads. The RSA is a versatile, scaleable structure with standardized interfaces and its own “smart” and configurable deployment electronics. It enables multi-payload manifesting with an interface to the primary payload that is identical to that of the launch vehicle. The RSA accepts payloads as small as a CubeSat (up to 10 CubeSat deployers per launch) and as large as a “half ESPA”. It enables contract to launch times of less than one year.
