Rideshare CubeSats inherit the primary mission’s orbit. VOLLEY is a magazine-fed electromagnetic launcher that mounts to a spent stage and deploys 12 satellites sequentially, each with commanded exit velocity and satellite-specific Δv. No CubeSat modification is required, turning a spent stage into a programmable last-mile orbital delivery vehicle.
