US Patent 11858667 Satellite dispenser

Systems for satellite dispensing from a second stage of a launch vehicle are described. In an example, a satellite dispenser ring includes a circular ring, a vertical stanchion, and a truss. The vertical stanchion has an interface to couple with an adjacent satellite dispenser ring. The vertical ring is also coupled to a perimeter of the circular ring perpendicular to a place of the circular ring. A satellite attachment interface at an edge of the vertical stanchions couples and releases a satellite.
