The new NASA credo of 'faster, better, cheaper' calls for a new generation of smaller and less complex spacecraft. In response to this challenge, many new spacecraft concepts have been generated within NASA, industry, and academia. The JPL, Rockwell International Space Systems Division, and The Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL)/Utah State University (USU) are jointly examining one such new spacecraft concept, hereafter termed ISOBUS, which is derived from recent research and development work in isogrid structures based on a six-sided hexagon shaped structure. Two prototypical products from SDL/USU's work are ISOSPACEPACK and ISOSAT. These hexagon shaped elements serve as building blocks for the ISOBUS spacecraft concept. Various aspects of the ISOBUS concept are discussed.
