The invention discloses a modular satellite deployer system and method utilizing a novel geometric door configuration employing a novel geometry that permits any number or combination of satellites to deploy from a common sized satellite deployer. The satellite deployer system includes an enclosure. The satellite deployer system includes two or more satellites shaped to conform with the inside of the enclosure. The satellite deployer system includes multi segmented doors, door release mechanisms, and multi segmented ejector mechanisms. Each of multi segmented ejector mechanisms is capable of pushing a satellite of the two or more satellites out of the enclosure. Two or more satellites deploy from the enclosure in any desired sequence by selectively opening the multi segmented doors using the multi segmented door release mechanisms and the multi segmented ejector mechanisms.
