Abstract

An assembly comprising a multiple payload set for a launch vehicle and a stiff and rigid ground support equipment. The multiple payload set comprising a plurality of payloads, wherein the plurality of payloads are interconnected via a non-self-supported connection structure before assembly of the multiple payload set to a dispenser body. Each payload comprises first attachment means attached to the non-self-supported connection structure, wherein the non-self-supported connection structure comprises second attachment means attached to the ground support equipment, for attachment of the multiple payload set to the dispenser body. The ground support equipment is attached to the multiple payload set via the second attachment means to reinforce and secure the multiple payload set to enable transport and maneuverability of the multiple payload set without jeopardizing the non-self-supported connection structure.
