Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a device for deploying a nanosatellite including a main structure mounted on a launching vehicle, a support frame carrying the nanosatellite, and a locking/unlocking structure. The locking/unlocking structure includes a first clamping element complementary to a second clamping element of the support frame, and an elastically deformable actuating element to allow, in a locking position, constrain the first clamping element to the second clamping element to retain the support frame to the main structure, and in an unlocking position, release the first clamping element from the second clamping element to release the support frame from the main structure causing it to be ejected.
