For next generation microsatellites and nanosatellites, new design approaches will be required to significantly increase their payload to mass fraction. One proposed technology is the multifunctional design concept that incorporates spacecraft subsystems into the load carrying structure. The focus of the research is the multifunctional power structure which replaces conventional battery systems in a spacecraft. An analytical and finite element analysis of ten multifunctional sandwich structures is presented. The out-of-plane material properties are discussed and a parameter optimization of the ten sandwich panels is carried out to optimize their frequency to density ratio. The best configuration for an optimized multifunctional power structure is then identified from the analytical and finite element investigation. The optimized design provides a similar predicted dynamic response as a conventional honeycomb sandwich panel, and can be considered a serious alternative for future spacecraft.
