Abstract:
Provided is a connecting and separating device such that it is possible to reduce the shock of separation when separating a launch vehicle and a structure from each other. The connecting and separating device is equipped with a clamp band (6) having blocks (3) and a strap (2), and a connecting section (4). The blocks (3) cause a mounting member (20) of the launch vehicle to engage with a structure (30) mounted on the mounting member (20). The strap (2) holds the block (3) from the outside. The connecting section (4) connects or separates both ends (2a) of the strap (2). The strap (2) is formed of a shape-memory alloy, and is provided with an elongation section (11) which elongates due to heating.
