Two patterns of satellite configuration designs related to two forms of antenna unit have been given, according to the demand of SPORT satellite payload detection, the principles of satellite design and configuration layout design, and the constrained conditions of satellite configuration layout from delivering. Payload visual layout of satellite platform has been provided. Location and direction of payloads in the satellite have been determined, which can avoid interference and blocking between the payloads, in favor of observing the work space of payloads. The way to achieve scientific objectives has been initially identified, providing basis for satellite platform design. The feasibility study has verified that both patterns can meet the needs of SPORT satellite payload detection.
