Random and chaotic attitude heading during cubesat deployment with a predominant bias toward lateral relative velocity vectors leads to a half or full orbit recontact event for each payload.
Monte carlo simulations are no substitute for analytical analysis of the deployment scenario. If we don't fly, nobody flies
