Description

Demisable Joint is a technical solution to allow an early break up of satellites structure and payload separation in order to reduce the risk posed by re-entering satellites, improving their demise. The ESA study “ITI – Innovation Triangle Initiative - Demisable Joint” aims at identifying the environment conditions, an then design, manufacturing and testing dedicated breadboards to verify this solution.
