A process for rapid re-configuration and customization of small satellites using additively manufactured chassis customized to create a more conformal and integrated bus design adapted to a particular payload. The additional components or subsystems of the bus required are are integrated either on the sidewalls of the additively manufactured chassis, or as the sidewalls of such chassis, while the payload is also secured or integrated via custom features that are part of the additively manufactured chassis. Chassis can be rapidly reconfigured in the design stage to adapt to a preferred vendor's application, components and subsystems, or payload specifications, an engineering change to the bus and/or payload, responsive to test data, or the like, thereafter additively manufacturing a new chassis and rapidly producing the entire small satellite.
