A spacecraft is provided that includes a spacecraft body, a phased array
coupled to a side of the spacecraft body by a first deployment couple,
and a reflector coupled to the side of the spacecraft body by a second
deployment couple. The first and second deployment couples are configured
to permit stowing the reflector and the phased array parallel to the side
of the spacecraft body. The reflector and the phased array share a common
launch restraint mounting point on the side of the spacecraft body. A
spacecraft is also provided that includes a spacecraft body, a mounting
platform coupled to a side of the spacecraft body by a deployment couple,
and a plurality of phased array assemblies. Each phased array assembly
has a face with elements, and is coupled to the mounting platform by a
gimbal. The deployment couple and the gimbals are configured to permit
stowing the phased array assemblies parallel to the side of the
spacecraft body and with the face of each phased array assembly oriented
in a first direction. The phased array assemblies share a common launch
restraint mounting point on the side of the spacecraft body.
