The spacecraft structure for the Hipparcos program is presented. The mass budget of this aluminum made structure is given. The central thrust tube, which carries the satellite assemblies and forms the interface to the Ariane launcher, is examined. The secondary structure, which consists of the shade structure, the fill-in antenna boom and the support structures for the cold gas and hydrazine tanks, is outlined.
