CONNECTION-SEPARATION DEVICE, CONNECTION-SEPARATION SYSTEM, AND CONNECTION-SEPARATION METHOD

摘要

A connecting and separating device includes: a clamp band which connects an installation member of a launch vehicle and a structure installed on the installation member; and a first connecting section in which end portions of the clamp band are connected and separated. The first connecting section includes: a rotation section which is rotatable around an axis perpendicular to a plane containing the clamp band direction; and a rotating and holding section which sets the rotation section to a rotation inhibited state or a rotation permitted state. When the end portions are connected, the end portions are connected to the rotation section from opposite directions to each other, and the rotating and holding section sets said rotation section to the rotation inhibited state. When the end portions are separated, the rotating and holding section sets the rotation section to the rotation permitted state, and the end portions leave from the rotation section through the rotation of the rotation section.
