A thermoregulated thermomechanical structure for a focal plane suitable for operating in a space environment is disclosed having an interface for supporting dissipative electronic equipment, the structure being monolithic, metallic and including a radiator and a first two-phase heat-transfer fluid transport cavity, extending within the radiator and providing direct thermal transport between the interface and the radiator. The structure also includes a second cavity encapsulating a phase change material.
