PCT No. PCT/US98/23840 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 29, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 29, 1999 PCT Filed Nov. 6, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO99/25165 PCT Pub. Date May 20, 1999The 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.
