    Non-Explosive Actuation for the Orbcomm (TM) Satellite

    Non-Explosive Actuation for the Orbcomm (TM) Satellite


    Spool-based non-explosive actuator (NEA) devices are used for three important holddown and release functions during the establishment of the ORBCOMM (TM) constellation. Non-explosive separation nuts are used to restrain and release the 26 individual satellites into low earth orbit. Cable release mechanisms based on the same technology are used to release the solar arrays and antenna boom.
