Stage separation of parallel-staged shuttle vehicles, a capability assessmentThe separation concept for stage separation of parallel staged space shuttle vehicles is discussed. The forward link separation concept is emphasized. The effects of aerodynamic interference and component mass are analyzed. Qualitative measurements used to perform a preliminary evaluation of various separation system concepts are presented. Line drawings are included to clarify the mechanisms and spacecraft structures used in stage separation.
