Systems and methods for configuring, packaging, and deploying spacecraft are provided. More particularly, spacecraft are configured with statically mounted instruments. An end of the spacecraft to which the instruments are mounted is relatively distant from a spacecraft bus, and has a narrow width relative to the spacecraft bus. During launch multiple overlapping and interleaved spacecraft are disposed radially about a longitudinal axis of the launch vehicle.
