A method for assembling devices on a satellite structure is disclosed including attaching the devices to a first face of a plate drilled with a through-hole provided with a fluid connector, on a second face of the plate, depositing a continuous peripheral bead of polymerisable adhesive composition and depositing a plurality of discontinuous and disjointed inner beads of polymerisable adhesive composition, pressing the second face of the plate against a continuous face of the structure, performing suction so as to create a pressure differential between the plate and the structure, at least partially polymerising the polymerisable adhesive compositions so as to form adhesive joints between the plate and the structure, and interrupting the suction.

Disclosed is a device for controlled separation of a first so-called stationary part and a second so-called mobile part, the stationary part having a stationary connecting surface opposite a mobile connecting surface of the mobile part, the stationary part having a different thermal expansion coefficient from that of the mobile part, the separation device including: at least one connecting agent arranged in a layer between the stationary connecting surface and the mobile connecting surface, at least one device for heating at least one of the stationary part and the mobile part, and at least one system for controlling the heating device.
