Abstract: A connecting-separating device is for separating satellites from launchers or satellite dispensers. Circumferentially aligned clamps can be coupled on their inner face on rings of separable elements constituting the union interface between the two separable elements. A release mechanism connects two of the clamps through one of the ends of the clamps. The two clamps are connected by the release mechanism include a protrusion protruding from their outer faces at the end opposite the end connecting with the release mechanism. The rest of the clamps include a protrusion protruding from their outer faces at each of their ends adjacent the adjacent clamps, so that each pair of clamps adjacent and not connected to one another by the release mechanism are connected to one another by connectors connecting the protrusions.

Abstract: A separation system for separable elements of spacecraft and launchers includes an upper ring, a lower ring and a band with an inner channel which houses slidable clamps, which are applied against the upper ring and the lower ring that form the connection interface between the two separable elements. A device joins/separates the ends of the band, both the upper ring and the lower ring including an outer protruding element with a wedged section to be lodged in the clamps. The upper ring also has an inner protruding element with a wedged section that matches a channel shaped section in the lower ring, the lower ring also has an outer portion including the outer protruding element with a wedged section and the channel shaped section, the outer portion protruding from a main part of the lower ring and being spaced from it creating a groove.
