An adaptor system includes a space vehicle separation plate operably coupled to a space vehicle, a launch vehicle adaptor plate operably coupled to a launch vehicle capable of carrying the space vehicle into space for release of the space vehicle from the launch vehicle, an actuator release mechanism assembly, a bend/shear restrain assembly that is non-coaxial with the actuator-release connector, and a biasing element. The actuator-release mechanism assembly may be configured to separably couple the space vehicle separation plate to the launch vehicle adaptor plate. The actuator-release actuator-release mechanism assembly may pass through the launch vehicle adaptor plate to engage the space vehicle separation plate to hold the space vehicle separation plate substantially parallel to the launch vehicle adaptor plate prior to release of the space vehicle separation plate. |
