Motivated by the work of Leznov-Mostovoy [17], we classify the linear deformations of standard $ 2n $-dimensional phase space that preserve the obvious symplectic $ \mathfrak{o}(n) $-symmetry. As a consequence, we describe standard phase space, as well as $ T^{*}S^{n} $ and $ T^{*}\mathbb{H}^{n} $ with their standard symplectic forms, as degenerations of a 3-dimensional family of coadjoint orbits, which in a generic regime are identified with the Grassmannian of oriented 2-planes in $ {\mathbb{R}}^{n+2} $.

Keywords: Coadjoint orbits, Lie algebra deformations, momentum maps.
