A first satellite and a second satellite are configured to be disposed together, in a launch configuration, for launch by a single launch vehicle. The launch vehicle includes a primary payload adapter and the first satellite includes a secondary payload adapter. In the launch configuration, the first satellite is mechanically coupled with the primary payload adapter and the second satellite is mechanically coupled with the secondary payload adapter. Following injection into a first orbit by the launch vehicle, the first satellite separates from the primary payload adapter while the second satellite is mechanically coupled with the secondary payload adapter. The second satellite is detached from the secondary payload adapter of the first satellite only after an orbit transfer maneuver executed by a propulsions system of the first satellite. In the launch configuration, the mass of the second satellite is at least 30% of the mass of the first satellite.
