Attenuating shocks systems

During critical launch phases, the separation of stages and the launcher’s fairing introduces highly energetic shock waves, posing a threat to onboard equipment.

These shock waves, generated by the activation of pyrotechnic cut systems, propagate rapidly, jeopardizing mission-critical electronics. Consequently, equipment close to a cut zone can undergo severe damages, including local destructions, malfunctions, and significant performance reduction, jeopardizing the satellite mission. Engineered with meticulous detail, Metravib’s attenuators provide a crucial defense, ensuring the integrity and functionality of onboard equipment.

Crafted with advanced elastomer bushes, our shock attenuators surpass industry standards, complying with stringent technical specifications set by satellite manufacturers. With a focus on cutting-edge materials and innovative damping mechanisms, they absorb and dissipate shock energy with unparalleled efficiency.
