LINEAR SHAPED CHARGE SEPARATION TESTS

Abstract

A flexible linear shaped charge (FLSC) for vehicle stage separation has been designed. The pyrotechnics have been acceptance tested for susceptibility to handling shock and electromagnetic radiation. A technique for verifying alignment of the installed FLSC by radiograph has been developed. Instrumentation techniques and test plans have been developed for measuring the shock effects on a spacecraft structure from firing the FLSC separation system.
