A satellite system includes a chassis, an avionics package included within an upper portion of the chassis. The avionics package includes a main system board, a payload interface board, at least one daughter board and a battery board. The main system board, the payload interface board, the at least one daughter board, and the battery board reside in substantially parallel planes. The payload interface board, the at least one daughter board, and the battery board are coupled to the main system board through one or more stackable connectors. A method of operating a satellite is also described.
