NASA is currently developing a new crew module to replace capabilities of the retired Space Shuttles and to provide a crewed vehicle for exploring beyond low earth orbit. The crew module is a capsule-type design, which is designed to separate from the launch vehicle during launch ascent once the launch vehicle fuel is expended. The separation is achieved using pyrotechnic separation bolts, wherein a section of the bolt is propelled clear of the joint at high velocity by an explosive charge. The resulting projectile must be contained within the fairing structure by a containment plate. This paper describes an analytical effort completed to augment testing of various containment plate materials and thicknesses. The results help guide the design and have potential benefit for future similar applications.
