Abstract
The invention relates to a satellite having a structure that includes a circular launching interface ring and at least two main planar apparatus-holding walls that are substantially parallel to the axis of the ring and rigidly connected to one another and to the ring. Each wall directly bears on the ring by a base of the wall, and each wall is rigidly and directly attached to the ring by at least one somewhat point-by-point connection on at least one point or area of tangency or intersection with the base of the wall and the ring.
