What is the principle of signal transmission and distribution functions across a launcher? The principle of a transfer line is similar to an electrical wire. Its objective is to transmit a signal from a point A to a point B.
What is the principle of signal transmission and distribution functions across a launcher?
Pyroalliance offers pyrotechnic solutions to transmit and distribute signals thanks to pyrotechnic transfer lines. We gather decades of heritage from light to heavy lift families of launchers.
Our lines are used to transmit a pyrotechnical signal throughout the launcher and activate when requested different kinds of terminal functions like engine ignition, stage separation, or flight termination.
By the way, when different terminal functions require synchronization to ignite, we use distribution “manifolds”.
Staying in the comparison with electrical equipment, the pyrotechnic manifold is comparable to power strip. Its function is to ignite several outputs transmission lines “at the very same time” according to the requested sequence.
