Connection separator for separating satellites from launchers or satellite dispensers

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connection separation device for an element of a spacecraft or a launcher. A connection separator (1) is a plurality of circumferentially aligned clamps that can be internally coupled on a ring (6, 7) that constitutes a coupling interface between two separable elements. The two clamps (2') include a release mechanism (3) that connects the two clamps (2') via one end of the clamp (2'). The end opposite to the end connected to (3) is provided with a protrusion (4) protruding from the outer surface, and the rest of the clamp (2) is a protrusion (4) protruding from the outer surface at each of those ends. ), And each pair of clamps (2, 2, 2, 2') not connected by the release mechanism (3) is connected to each other by the connecting means (5) connecting the protrusions (4), and the plurality. Clamps (2, 2') are attached to the ring (6, 7) without using an outer band on the outer circumference of the plurality of clamps (2, 2'). [Selection diagram] Fig. 2
