A primary structure (100) for a spacecraft (200) including an interface ring (10) and a predetermined number of panels defining a box arranged to close an interior volume of the spacecraft. The box is connected to the interface ring. Side panels of the box are parallel to a geometric axis (A) of the interface ring, the interface ring is temporarily fastened to a system supporting the spacecraft in a launcher. Each panel is a one-piece panel formed by machining a metal material. The side panels at the base of the box are connected to the interface ring (10) via damping inserts (60).
