ABSTRACT

A spacecraft panel includes a first skin, a second skin spaced apart from the
first skin, and a first truss structure connecting the first skin to the
second skin. The first truss structure includes a plurality of truss members,
and each truss member is integral with the first skin and the second skin,
such that the first skin, the second skin, and the first truss structure
collectively form a single monolithic joint-free structure.
