A Larger Version of the Pez dispenser, it will be capable of launching Medium sized SATs in decent sized numbers. I don't see why this wouldn't be possible but it might require an extensive re-design of the Rings used to construct the ships. 2. Fully Expendable ship with ride share like payload as it will have a LOT of payload capability. Probably stretched as well like V3, if a Payload is so big it takes up the entire Bay then that's gonna be a option as well. I assume an large payload door, not an fan of the whale mouth design as it would be an pain to load cargo bay on the ground. with side hinges you can have an hinge all the way up one straight side. Using an medium sized door would require quite some dispenser system who would easy be heavier and less reliable in releasing the satellite. If your door don't close after releasing my satellite its your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
