Pyrotechnics components and subsystems are employed for ignition, valve operation, separation systems and many other functions on both launchers and satellites. Other technologies exist, for example thermal or magnetically driven initiators and electric initiators. The choice of technology is mainly driven by application, cost and the environmental requirements to be met, such as shock and thermal requirements. The bulk of the initiator functions on board, including neutralization, are driven by the pyrotechnic chain. |
