Abstract: A lift vehicle has an elongated support structure affixed to its upper end, with the axis of elongation of the support structure parallel to or coincident with the longitudinal axis of the lift vehicle. The support structure defines a plurality of attachment planes, each of which includes the axis of elongation, which together divide the region about the axis of elongation into N angular sections or regions, each with an included angle of 360.degree./N. A plurality MN of spacecraft are organized into a plurality of M sets or layers, each containing N spacecraft. Each spacecraft defines first and second lateral support planes, skewed relative to each other, which intersect at a line of intersection, is parallel to the axis of elongation when the spacecraft are mounted to the support structure. Two or more spacecraft are mounted in end-to-end position in each angular portion. Each spacecraft stiffens the support structure, so that the stiffened support structure, can sustain the launch forces. Spacecraft of upper layers do not bear on lower layers. Controllable attachments hold the first and second lateral support planes of each spacecraft adjacent to the attachment planes defined by the support structure.

Abstract translation: 升降车具有固定到其上端的细长支撑结构，支撑结构的伸长轴线与升降车辆的纵向轴线平行或重合。 支撑结构限定了多个连接平面，每个连接平面包括延伸轴线，它们将伸长轴线周围的区域分成N个角度区域或360度/ N的夹角。 多个MN的航天器被组织成多个M组或多个层，每个包含N个航天器。 每个航天器限定第一和第二横向支撑平面，相对于彼此偏斜，在相交线处相交时，平行于航天器安装到支撑结构上的延伸轴线。 两个或更多个航天器在每个角度部分中以端对端的位置安装。 每个航天器加固支撑结构，使得加强的支撑结构能够维持发射力。 上层的航天器不承载在较低层。 可控制的附件保持每个航天器的第一和第二横向支撑平面与由支撑结构限定的附接平面相邻。

Abstract: A lifting pole assembly configured for removable attachment to a tower comprising a lifting pole, a bottom bracket assembly, a top bracket assembly and vertical tilt means. The lifting pole has a lower end and an upper end. The bottom bracket assembly includes a first end attached to the tower and a second end attached to the lifting pole proximal to the lower end thereof. Similarly, the top bracket assembly includes a first end attached to the tower at a position above the point where the bottom bracket is attached to the tower and a second end attached to the lifting pole at a position above the point where the bottom bracket is attached to the lifting pole. The vertical tilt means enables the lifting pole to pivot in the vertical plane about a point proximal to the connection between the bottom bracket and the lower end of the lifting pole. Horizontal pivot means for enabling the lifting pole to pivot in the horizontal plane relative to the tower may also be provided. The horizontal pivot means includes a bottom mount bracket of the bottom bracket assembly having a first end removably attached to the tower and a second end pivotally attached to a bottom swivel pivot bracket by a bottom swivel bolt connection.
