Publication number: 20230365279Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for orbit raising of multiple spacecraft launched with a single launch vehicle. Two or more spacecraft are configured in a stacked launch configuration in which a lower spacecraft is mechanically coupled with a payload adapter of a launch vehicle with one or more upper spacecraft above the lower spacecraft. Propellant that is stored in the lower spacecraft during launch is transferred to an upper spacecraft in the stack after launch. The propellent may be used by the upper spacecraft for an orbit raising maneuver that raises the orbit of at least the upper spacecraft from a first orbit to a second orbit. Storing the propellant in the lower spacecraft lowers the center of mass of the stack during launch. Lowering the center of mass reduces the structural bending moment of the stack during launch, which allows a greater total launch mass.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Maxar Space LLCInventors: Gordon Chun Kong Wu, David Marlow, Jeff Aaron Baldwin
