The invention provides a folding multi-
satellite distributor and an unfolding and releasing method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
spacecraft launching. The foldable multi-star
distributor comprises a plurality of single
distributor bodies, distributor connecting columns and distributor unfolding arms. In the launching process, the multiple single distributors are longitudinally stacked and pressed through the distributor connecting columns to form a compact overall stacked body, folding of the
layout area is achieved, and the space
utilization rate in the fairing is increased. After
orbit injection, the distributor unfolding arms drive the adjacent single distributors to generate spatial
dislocation unfolding, and unfolding bodies for separation of the small satellites are formed. Through folding and unfolding of the distributor, on the premise that the size of the fairing is not increased, the arrangement area of the small satellites and the single-
rocket launching number are multiplied, the
carrying capacity is improved, and the single-
rocket multi-
satellite networking launching device is particularly suitable for one-
rocket multi-
satellite networking launching.
