Provided is an advanced grid structure manufactured by a lamination step of laminating a first tape prepreg group, a second tape prepreg group, and a third tape prepreg group repeatedly in the stated order on a forming die, in which grooves () in a lattice shape are formed in three directions, so as to provide crossing regions () in which two tape prepreg groups overlap each other, and a heating forming step of forming a laminate by heating under pressure. In the lamination step, the first tape prepreg group, the second tape prepreg group, and the third tape prepreg group are respectively laminated as one layer in crossing regions () so that a tape width is maintained, and laminated in non-crossing regions () in a state of being folded as two layers in a width direction thereof.

A satellite equipment panel on which may be mounted an installation equipment of a predetermined function, connectable by an interface, constitutes an artificial satellite. The satellite equipment panel includes a panel body, at least two interfaces for an interconnection to another satellite equipment panel, a line transfer switch disposed within the panel body for line transferring of the interconnection between the interfaces, wiring disposed within the panel body and connected at one end to one of the interfaces and at the other end to the line transfer switch for interconnecting the interfaces on that panel body. The interfaces and the wiring, in cooperation with a support structure, constitute a wiring module disposed within the panel body. The interface may comprise at least one of interfaces of electric communication, optical communication, and optical sensor.
