Investigation and Analysis of Seperation System of Kavoshgar-3

Separation system is one of the main sub-systems in every space device and missile. This system is used to separate active and inactive sections in a missile. The separation process should be done accurately. A separation system explained in this paper was designed and produced based on mission, rocket configuration and manufacturability. This system uses explosive bolts and spring mechanism. This separates accurately payload from motor in a sounding rocket. Aerodynamic forces were used to determine structure strength. This structure designed based on at least weight and drag force. Several tests were done to evaluate this system performance. The tests results confirm this system capability.
