DS1 tested a device known as a multifunctional structure. This places electronics right in a structural panel. The combination of these 2 important functions plus the ability to control the temperature all in one device offers the possibility of simplifying future spacecraft. Provided to NASA by the Air Force and built by Lockheed Martin, the multifunctional structure was validated on the DS1 mission.
