SATELLITE DISPENSING SYSTEM
Abstract: stacked satellite dispensing systems are described herein. the disclosed systems have a full stack of satellites with multiple sub-stacks. each of the multiple sub-stacks has a respective sub-stack strut that stabilizes the sub-stack of satellites. a full stack strut stabilizes the full stack of all the sub-stacks of satellites. the sub-stack struts and the full stack strut can traverse an external sidewall of the satellites, and, in some examples, extend diagonally along the external sidewalls. each sub-stack of satellites is stacked, then its respective sub-stack strut is extended along the external sidewall of the sub-stack. after each sub-stack strut is secured, the full stack strut is secured along the external sidewall of the full stack of satellites.
