A coupling unit is disclosed for detachable coupling two pars of a spacecraft, the coupling unit connecting the two parts of the spacecraft in a connected condition and the coupling unit distancing the two parts of the spacecraft, when the coupling unit is in detached condition. The coupling unit comprises a first element and a second element engaged to each other in connected condition, with the second element comprising a gas generator for generating gas under pressure to detach the first and the second element to bring them in the detached position, thereby distancing the first element and the second element from each other, and thus also the first part and the second part connected to the respective elements.
