A multiple hold-down and release device for spacecraft includes a central structure including a central section with a cylindrical inner hole, an inner axial shaft insertable into the inner hole. A release bolt aligns with the inner axial shaft. A main bushing is partially arranged inside the inner hole and axially guided by guiding bushings on the main bushing and the inner hole. The main bushing includes a protrusion and internal retainer spring. Arms protruding from the central section are axially preloaded by a pusher opposite the central section. Connecting levers each connect to the end of the corresponding arm by the pusher. Hold-down assemblies on the periphery of the device each include a hold-down support and a fastener with conical contact surfaces, a torsion spring around a torsion spring shaft, and articulated with the corresponding hold-down support by the corresponding torsion spring shaft.
