Abstract
This paper dealt with an alternative for maximizing mass savings in spacecraft design by replacing conventional aluminum alloy housing used for various spacecraft avionics by composite materials. Key requirements were defined for the purpose of composite housing design with sufficient durability and various functionalities as well as more lightweight characteristics as compared with aluminum alloy widely-used for conventional electronics housing. Conceptual design was also carried out for manufacturing modular, lightweight composite electronic housing equipped with high thermal and electrical conductivities, EMI protection, and radiation shielding characteristics as well as excellent structural performance; feasibility of enhancing mass savings in spacecraft design was presented.
