A multiple space vehicle launch system that may be adapted to be disposed within a payload region of a launch vehicle fairing is disclosed. The vehicle launch system may include a first space vehicle including a first core structure and a second space vehicle including a second core structure. The second core structure may be oriented relative to the first space vehicle such that when placed within a fairing, a launch load is transmitted from the first core structure of the first space vehicle and is borne by the second core structure of the second space vehicle. The first space vehicle and the second space vehicle each include respective propulsion units.
