"The original CDS introduced the CubeSat Standard to the world almost two
decades ago. It defined the physical and electrical characteristics for a
1U and 3U size CubeSat and included requirements for interfacing with the
only CubeSat dispenser available at the time, the Poly-Pico Orbital
Deployer (P-POD). Since then the industry has expanded to include more
standard sizes and additional dispensers with more available options.

To accommodate these new advancements, the CDS has been retooled to be more
flexible and inclusive of developments within the industry. Requirements
that were originally written specifically for the P-POD will encompass
requirements for all dispensers currently available. It is also the
intention for the new revision of the CDS to identify the available options
on dispensers that are widely available for use. Currently that list is
limited to dispensers that publish their specifications online, but can be
updated as dispenser companies make that information available to us. The
CDS will also define all U configurations in one document with one set of
requirements for ease of reference."
