SPACE APPARATUS SEPARATION DEVICES TEST BENCH Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64G7/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering particularly to space apparatus separation devices test benches. Test bench incorporates main spaceship simulator and jettisonable apparatus dummy jointed together by standard separation device, jettisonable apparatus dummy entrap and jettisonable apparatus dummy flight parameter recorder. Said main spaceship simulator is composed of the frame mounted on support with vertical guides for carriage. Carriage in initial position is coupled with said frame at its upper part by cutoff assembly electrically connect with ground control board. Test bench incorporates device to output separation instructions composed of rotary level hinged to carriage to interact, on one side, with cam rigidly fitted on said frame and, on opposite side, with eng contact at carriage electrically connected with dummy separation compartment. Space apparatus bottom is fitted in separation device. Grip is rigidly fixed at the carriage to interact with shock absorber mounted on the frame. Test bench has end position locator composed of a latch rigidly fixed at the carriage to interact with fitting secured at the frame.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of tests.
