A spacecraft may include an upper core structure (148) or a lower core structure (168). The upper core structure (148) may include an upper cylinder (150) for supporting an upper spacecraft (146) of a dual-manifest launch configuration. The lower core structure (168) may include a lower cylinder (170) for supporting a lower spacecraft (166) with the upper cylinder (150) mounted on top of the lower cylinder (170). The upper cylinder (150) may have an upper cylinder inner diameter that may be substantially similar to the lower cylinder inner diameter.
