A system for delivery to space on a launch vehicle includes a first payload configured to directly couple to an adapter structure of the launch vehicle, a second payload configured to directly couple to the adapter structure of the launch vehicle, and a tether between the first payload and the second payload. Subsequently to separation from the launch vehicle, the first payload is configured to move relative to the second payload, using the tether, to dock with the second payload.
