Abstract
A spin ejection mechanism and a method of launching objects from extraterrestrial sites is disclosed. The mechanism includes a first bracket. At least one second bracket is spaced apart from the first bracket. At least one guide mechanism is operably coupled between the first bracket and one of the at least one second brackets. The at least one guide mechanism is configured to axially restrain the second bracket. At least one releasable lock mechanism is operably coupled to the at least one second bracket and configured to initiate restrained movement of one of the at least one guide mechanism. A spring-loaded lock mechanism is coupled to the first bracket and configured to initiate unrestrained movement of the at least one guide mechanism.
