Review of comparative pyrotechnic shock outputs of various electro-explosive release devices that have been obtained in tests of an instrumented spacecraft structure. This research uses pyrotechnic shock spectra levels as an indicator of shock environment severity in support of a program of pyrotechnic device analysis and redesign intended to reduce shock generation.
