FIELD: space engineering; payload adapters injected by launch vehicle. SUBSTANCE: adapter 14 is located between each artificial satellite 12 and bearing plate 10. In launching the launch vehicle, smaller adapters 14 take position limited in overall dimensions. At control of satellite separation, its adapter 14 takes position of separation where satellite 12 gets inclined and is separated from adjacent satellite or satellites. EFFECT: possibility of arrangement of several artificial satellites under launch vehicle fairing with no danger of their collision during separation. 7 cl, 4 dwg
