Abstract
In order to provide a temporary connection between two structure elements, such as two parts of a space launcher or of another type of spacecraft or aircraft, a connection device with controlled separation comprises a thermally breakable layer, two thermal containment layers, between which the thermally breakable layer is arranged, and an electrically conductive element arranged between the two thermal containment layers in such a way as to heat the thermally breakable layer using the Joule effect when an electric current passes through the electrically conductive element.
