Abstract
A spin release mechanism and a method of launching objects from extraterrestrial sites is disclosed. The mechanism includes a first bracket and a second bracket spaced apart from the first bracket. A guide mechanism is provided operably coupled between the first bracket and second bracket and configured to axially restrain the second bracket. A release ring is provided rotationally coupled to the first bracket and operably coupled to the guide mechanism to selectively allow axial and rotational movement of the second bracket. A releasable lock mechanism is provided coupled to the first bracket and configured to selectively rotate the release ring.
