THIRD STAGE/PAYLOAD
Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV)
Is a propulsive tug for secondary payload deployment based on the Moog Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) ring. The OMV is designed to launch on NSSL-class launch vehicles while supporting up to 1500kg of secondary payloads.
Payload Adapter (ESPA)
Support multiple satellites of different sizes of launch vehicles. Moog adapters can be used for Small Satellites including ESPA-Class Payloads down to Nanosatellites (CubeSats) in addition being a spacecraft structure itself.
Softride
A collection of "ready for flight" off-the-shelf isolators specifically sized to be compatible with smaller interfaces (15" ports or larger) and higher loads of a multi-manifest or small launch vehicle environments.
Shockring
Is a whole-spacecraft isolation system developed to attenuate high frequency launch vehicle shock loads. It has a metallic load path consisting of a series of flexure rings in parallel with viscoelastic damping to reduce shock in all coordinate directions. ShockRing has flight heritage and its low profile and low weight provide minimal impact to a launch stack.
