The present disclosure relates to a mechanism for releasably securing components of a spacecraft together during launch until such time as the mechanism is commanded to release those components. Upon command, the components are then released with extremely low shock forces being transmitted to the previously secured components due to the release.
La présente invention concerne un mécanisme permettant de fixer de manière amovible des composants d'un engin spatial les uns aux autres pendant le lancement jusqu'à ce que le mécanisme reçoive des instructions pour libérer ces composants. Lors de la réception d'instructions, les composants sont ensuite libérés, des forces de choc extrêmement faibles étant transmises aux composants précédemment fixés en raison de la libération.
