Abstract

A satellite payload structure includes one side that includes at least two equipment mounting panels. Each of the equipment mounting panels are oriented substantially parallel to each other such that when the satellite is deployed, each of the equipment mounting panels are substantially parallel to a vector pointing from the deployed location of the satellite to a point on the earth's surface. The point on the earth's surface is located vertically beneath the satellite such that the vector is substantially normal to the earth's surface.
