Adaptive Electromechanical Dispenser Architecture for Reinforcement Learning-Optimized Satellite Deployment

This research presents an adaptive electromechanical satellite dispenser architecture that eliminates pyrotechnic shock through closed-loop variable-velocity control. Traditional deployment systems rely on springs and pyrotechnics that generate >1000G shock loads and fixed separation velocities, creating the "48-hour problem" where satellites require days to achieve safe orbital spacing. Our ball screw actuator system with motorized roll-up gates enables precise velocity control from 0-0.5 m/s with
