Systems, methods, and apparatuses for the direct mount of secondary payload adapters to a truss structure common to a space vehicle payload adapter are disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, a method for reacting loads into a space vehicle payload adapter comprises reacting, by more than two interstitial rings of the space vehicle payload adapter, the loads created by secondary payloads mounted onto the space vehicle payload adapter, into a truss structure of the space vehicle payload adapter. The method further comprises reacting, by struts of the truss structure, the loads to a forward ring and an aft ring of the space vehicle payload adapter. In one or more embodiments, the reacting of the loads maintains high frequency (e.g., greater than (>) thirty (30) gigahertz (GHz)) modes for the space vehicle payload adapter.
