Modular and configurable spacecraft attachment and deployment assemblies

A reconfigurable spacecraft attachment and deployment railed assembly system attached to an adaptor of a launching structure, comprising:

• a connecting structure attached to the railed assembly system;
• a modular actuating assembly attached to the connecting structure, wherein the modular actuating assembly comprises:
• a primary pin puller;
• a primary spacecraft stop lever;
• a secondary pin puller;
• and
• a secondary spacecraft stop lever, wherein the modular actuating assembly is attached to an exit of the connecting structure on any of multiple sides of the connecting structure;
• and
• a deployment mechanism.

A method of ejecting multiple spacecraft from a connecting structure, comprising:

• constraining the multiple spacecraft during launch and ascent with a primary spacecraft stop lever of a modular actuating assembly;
• maintaining contact of the primary spacecraft stop lever with a first rail of the multiple spacecraft by a torsion spring of the modular actuating assembly at a lever pivot point of the modular actuating assembly, wherein the torsion spring and lever pivot point are associated with the primary spacecraft stop lever;
• maintaining contact of a secondary spacecraft stop lever of the modular actuating assembly with a second rail of the multiple spacecraft opposite the first rail of the multiple spacecraft by another torsion spring of the modular actuating assembly at another lever point of the modular actuating assembly;
• wherein:
• the another torsion spring and the another lever pivot point are associated with the secondary spacecraft stop lever;
• the secondary spacecraft stop lever rides along the second rail of the multiple spacecraft during ejection of the multiple spacecraft;
• and
• each of multiple sides of an exit of the connecting structure is configured to have the modular actuating assembly attached thereto.
