15. Structure for housing and heat sinking active equipment boxes in a space vehicle, said boxes being provided, on the external surface, with cooling fins forming empty volumes for the circulation of a cooling gas or mixture of cooling gases, comprising:
-
a constraining external container having a plurality of internal walls, containing said cooling gas or mixture of cooling gases; and
elements, for mechanically holding said boxes into tie container, made of a plurality of blocks of elastic-plastic shock absorbing material, rested against said cooling fins, having such dimensions that they can be compressed between any or all the cooling fins and an adjacent wall of the container, wherein each of said elements is covered by at least one thermal conductive layer. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
