The TD-25 Decoupler is a decoupler that allows for staging rockets vertically and in sequence.

Usage

The TD-25 Decoupler adds a stage to the rocket and when activated will jettison anything attached to it. Unlike the TS-37 Stack Separator , the TD-25 Decoupler remains attached to one side of the rocket - the side facing away from the arrow on the decoupler. It is primarily used for jettisoning spent stages or drop tanks with a Large / 2.5m / Rockomax node.

Product description

O.M.B. is pleased to bring you the latest in decoupling technologies - twice the size of the next best selling product, it offers plenty of bang for plenty of buck! As with its smaller, woefully inferior competitors, this decoupler has handy arrows to indicate which side it will detach from.
