  1. One common starting state.

    Nominal 500 km SSO. Twelve 4 kg 3U payloads. Generic host: 500 kg wet bus, including 20 kg fuel once; Isp 220 s.

  2. Twelve scheduled releases.

    Actual computed Gen5 host history, uniform-2 target family. Markers identify the frozen release epochs; the inertial X/Z projection preserves the numerical trajectory.

  3. Host manoeuvre. Point. Release.

    Host burns provide the departure state and direction. The launcher adds the coupled release contribution. The propagated state depends on both.

  4. Frozen full-state targets.

    Uniform synthetic 2 m/s or alternating 1/3 m/s along-track target families. All payloads and retained host are compared at t = 91800 s: 24 h after the final release.

  5. Coast for loading and safe release.

    Gen5 reserves 400 s of zero-force loading coast per payload for the declared 355 s cycle. Both architectures keep 5 s pre-release and 20 s post-release zero-force guards.

  6. Command flexibility and installed cost.

    The ideal ground-pretrimmed spring closes both target families at the 1 N and 5 N gates. Preplanned targets give no established Gen5 propellant or initial wet-mass advantage.

  7. Independent replay of target states.

    Native Orekit 13.1.6 replay and 60→30 s refinement agree within the declared numerical residuals. Numerical agreement is not physical delivery accuracy.

  8. Mission model and applicability.

    Fixed-axis J2 point masses and constant inertial force. Drag, higher gravity, attitude/plume allocation, navigation and finite exit geometry are outside this study.

  9. Twelve releases. One resource account.

    Twelve commanded releases share one coupled resource account: payloads, retained device, host burns, source energy and carrier recovery. Inspect the frozen target states and same-input policies.
