Abstract
A multisatellite distributor is proposed for putting into orbit a group or cluster of satellites from one or more different types of launchers. The distributor has a mast adapted for use with each of the types of launchers, and interface members for mounting the satellites or the mast. Each interface member includes systems for permitting fixing and releasing of an associated satellite, and electrical connectors by which satellite/launcher and interface member/launcher electrical connections may be established.
