No, me hearties, it doesn't deploy demons, just a small satellite. Wonderin' what t' do with t' moulded plastic capsule things that come in t' Estes Designer Special pack. Well, me bucko, blow me down! This is me answer. Add a couple o' flip out solar panels and a spot o' paint, then build a rocket t' get your nice new satellite into orbit (or as close as you can get). So how t' deploy a satellite? Well puttin' it on/in t' nose o' a rocket and blowin' it off at apogee does t' job, me bucko, and is quite easy t' achieve. T' trouble with this idea is that it is really too easy, me bucko, matey, and worse still extremely boring. OK you've all seen t' real thing, shiver me timbers, t' shuttle doors swin' slowly open.... Nowhere near as graceful but along t' same lines be t' Demon Deployer. Avast! Blimey! 2.6" diameter and 30" long, it consists o' a 6" booster section and 24" sustainer. Avast! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! T' booster is powered by a central D12-0 with three B6-2's mounted in fixed side pods containin' t' booster recovery chutes. T' sustainer powered by a D12-3 deploys a drogue chute from t' aft a little before apogee. T' drogue pulls out t' bay door release pins allowin' deployment o' t' payload followed by t' main chute.
