Grammar; placing "satellites" back in the title so it is more likely to be found with Google, added a few more relevant tags

| Aug 20, 2013 at 15:41 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | And with manned spacecraft, there is often an abort rocket atop the craft. | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 15:36 | comment | added | gerrit | On the other hand, stratospheric balloons always have the payload hanging below the balloon ;-) | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 15:36 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | @PearsonArtPhoto - STS' payload is in the bay, above the SSMEs :) You are clearly thinking about Buran/Energia. | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 15:31 | comment | added | PearsonArtPhoto♦ | Space Shuttle is launched to the side, but other than that... | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 15:25 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | For a moment, you got me stumped :) Actually, payload can be placed at the side, so your premise is false. One thing I won't do is place the sat UNDER the engines. Deep fried sats are bad for one's career. | |
