Abstract
An ejection mechanism for imparting an ejection force to substantially constant locus of points on a payload ejected from a spacecraft is disclosed. The ejection mechanism includes a rod having a contact end for abutting contact with the locus of points. The rod is slideably mounted within a housing defining a first aperture from which the rod is driven toward the locus of points. Means are provided for driving the rod toward the payload to eject the payload, and means are provided for securing the housing to the spacecraft. The ejection mechanism also includes means for permitting the contact end of the rod to substantially maintain abutting contact with the locus of points as the rod is driven toward the locus and the payload is ejected from the spacecraft.
