AB - Hyper Sonic Experiment (HEX-01), with main focus on the aero thermodynamic characterization and end to end autonomous mission management, is the first in a series of demonstrators planned by ISRO for the development of a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV). This paper gives the evolution of the split collet based separation system used in the separation of the spent booster stage from the RLV-Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (TDV). The separation mechanism is very compact, yet has a very high load bearing capacity. The design details and the challenges faced during flight qualification of the system are discussed in this paper. There are a lot of promising areas where this system can be used.
