A satellite stack includes satellites arranged in a stack, where each satellite in the stack has a planar portion with an associated support structure and a subsystems housing containing satellite subsystems extending along an edge of the planar portion. For each satellite, a height of the subsystems housing is greater than a combined height of the planar portion and the associated support structure. Each satellite is oriented at a nonzero rotational angle with respect to the satellite immediately beneath, such that no satellite has its subsystems housing positioned directly above the subsystems housing of the satellite immediately beneath.
