About

The load capability of the Beyond Gravity PAS 610S Separation System is fully compatible with the Moog CSA ESPA and environments from the ESPA Rideshare User’s Guide.

The Separation System includes a low shock clamp band separation system, interface rings, umbilical connection and a separation spring set. With the CBOD-LT Separation System Release Mechanism, Beyond Gravity can provide the unique combination of high load capability and a low shock release.

The PAS 610S Separation System is based on the already flight proven systems at Beyond Gravity. Developed for over 30 years, the Beyond Gravity product family to date includes a broad range of Separation Systems, spanning diameters from 360 mm to 2624 mm (14 to 103 in). The Separation Systems have an outstanding flight record: to date more than 660 in-orbit separations have been carried out with a success rate of 100%.
