Streamlined, Intelligent Design

Keystone consists of only three key components enabling fast, straightforward integration and operation. It’s the first separation system fully designed to launch vehicle flight levels, ensuring launch vehicle providers won’t need to accommodate untested risks.

Exceptional Structural Performance

While most high-mass satellites require a four-point separation signal—often triggering additional costs from the launch provider—Keystone’s structural strength allows these payloads to fly using a single-interface solution.

Compact and Low Shock

Keystone measures only 2.10” in height with precision-engineered separation springs which provide smooth, even payload deployment with minimal shock and low tip-off rates—regardless if your payload mass is 80 kg or 850 kg!

Cost-Effective and U.S. Made

Manufactured in the U.S., Keystone provides rapid launch readiness with high tolerance machining and scalable quality–which greatly reduces not only the mission complexity but the overall cost.
