Why is it Shaped Like This?
Energy conservation. Gravity Gradient will passively stabilize the spacecraft if there is a high aspect ratio to its form. An orbiting body that is on station for any length of time will begin to rotate, such that the long axis aligns radially from the parent body. Gravity decreases by inverse square of distance, so portions of the spacecraft that are closer to the parent body are more attracted by it. Minimal amounts of attitude control energy will then be required to maintain this orientation.
