A structure for housing electronic equipment pieces in a space vehicle, characterized in that it comprises:
- a. a sealable main container housed within said space vehicle;
- b. means for suspending said pieces of equipment to the interior of said structure;
- and
- c. a filler under pressure inside said sealable main container, said filler comprising a light-weight loose material and a nonfreezing thermally conducting liquid under pressure to protect said equipment pieces against the inertial forces occurring during the accelerations of the space vehicle.
