Abstract

The present invention is directed to a multifunction structure (MFS) in which electrical/electronic componentry, thermal control and structural support are integrated into a monolithic structure that is particularly useful in spacecraft applications. The multifunctional structure is also designed to be modular so that the electrical/electronic componentry can be repaired or replaced.
