Concept proposed for separating electrical cable that connects the Space Shuttle to deployable payloads could be used to sever electrical connections in other inaccessible environments. Although triggered explosively, connector would not release combustion products that could damage sensitive electronics. Suggested applications are undersea exploration, chemical processing and areas with high levels of radiation.
