Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for the connection and linear separation of two elements, such as the two stages of a spacecraft, consisting in using a tube containing a pyrogenic-type material and a glue arranged around the tube, particularly in contact with the elements. The pyrotechnic triggering of the pyrogenic material causes heating and the melting or carbonisation of the glue and the separation of the two elements.
