The disclosure concerns a joint (1) for releasably connecting a first space craft element (2) to a second space craft element (3) comprising a first flange (4) on the first space craft element (2) and a second flange (5) on the second space craft element (3). The joint (1) comprises first shoe portions (6) and second shoe portions (13) formed as sectors of a solid of revolution, keeping the flanges (4, 5) together in a longitudinal direction, The shoe portions are positioned next to each other in a circumferential direction the reference to a longitudinal direction of the space crafts. The first shoe portions being arranged to, at a prevailing Coulomb friction, not allow self-locking and the second show portions are arranged to allow self-locking.
