As rideshare launches become more available within the U.S., secondary payloads are still challenged by the limited choice of orbits and risk-adverse nature of primary payloads to allow for flexibility in the deployment sequence. The result is that a secondary payload's final orbit is limited by its host and the propulsion capability of the individual spacecraft. Many of these challenges can be met through the use of a propulsive rideshare adapter. The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission demonstrated the use of a propulsive EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) ring to expand and enhance an existing mission by utilizing the mass margin on a lunar launch. Similar propulsive ESPA technologies can be used as a baseline to provide orbit flexibility and optimization that was previously unattainable for secondary payloads.
