ABSTRACT:
A satellite system is basically composed of a service module and a payload module interconnected to permit relative rotation of the latter in relation to the former so that the service module remains oriented with its solar generators facing the sun while the payload module may remain oriented towards the earth. Additional payload modules can be connected to the service module or to a payload module, and additional service modules can be connected to the first mentioned service module. The coupling is provided in each instance through a BAPTA interface.
