摘要
The Dual Spacecraft Deployment System (DSDS) is a concept developed for deploying Dual Satellites into independent orbits from a single launch vehicle. The Deployment Concept, Deployment System and Spacecraft Design with Representative Instruments are presented herein. The design employs an innovative half-hex design for the spacecraft buses which allows the spacecraft to be accommodated in a parallel mounted configuration on the launch vehicle. The Spacecraft are arranged on the launch vehicle with a central deployment structure with a deployment mechanism which allows independent lateral deployment of two spacecraft. The Spacecraft Design can have a large volume, e.g., sized to accommodate Spacecraft Sub-systems and Instrument Systems. This concept allows the launch vehicle to accommodate two large Spacecraft deployed to different orbits with a single launch doubling the efficiency of the launch vehicle.
