A separation mechanism (1A) of a space structure serves to separate a second structure (3) from a first structure (2) in the outer space. The separation mechanism (1A) includes a first member (4) fixed to the first structure (2) and a second member (5) fixed to the second structure (3). The first member (4) and the second member (5) are made of electrically insulating materials, both of which have relatively low thermal conductivity. A conductive layer (6) is interposed between the first member (4) and the second member (5). The first member (4) or the second member (5) is joined to the conductive layer (6) by a joining layer (7). The conductive layer (6) is configured to generate heat that destroys or melts the joining layer (7) when electric current is applied to the conductive layer (6). |
