3 Payload Orbital Delivery System (PODS) PODS is a cost-effective system for sending small satellites to orbit. It carries small spacecraft to orbit attached to large satellites, and then dispenses them as free-flyers near GEO. With an average of 6 satellites launched each year, SSL can help you find a ride to space! Applications SmallSat drop-off locations tailored to meet the mission needs. Applications include: Space Situational Awareness» GEO slot holder satellite Earth Observation» Deep Space Missions (Moon, Mars, Asteroids) Technology Demo with Rapid Refresh» Constellation Deployment Heliophysics / Astrophysics Missions» Satellite Servicing (Inspection / Repair / Refueling) Dispensed From Various Locations on the Satellite
