Protective enclosure for use transporting orbital replacement units (orus) within a space craft

Abstract

An enclosure for transporting articles upon a spacecraft. The enclosure includes an external enclosure composed of a plurality of interconnected walls coupled via elongated edge connecting members to define an internal space shaped and dimensioned for receiving an article to be transported upon a spacecraft. The interconnected walls include a first wall selectively coupled to a plurality of sidewalls such that the first wall may be moved to open the internal space defined by the plurality of interconnected walls. The walls are honeycombed aluminum sheets and the edge connecting members are lightweight, high strength members shaped and dimensioned for secure attachment to the walls without the use of mechanical coupling members.
