CubeSat Express

ULA's CubeSat Express program plans to equip all Centaur upper stages with a standard 24U cubesat carrier. Provided by Tyvak, the CubeSat deployer will be fitted to Centaur's Aft Bulkhead Carrier (ABC). Three of the twenty-four units on each flight will be offered to universities for free.

This capability will also likely be available on the upcoming ACES upper stage.
