What Does BSM Stand For?
BSM stands for Booster Separation Motor
BSM, or Booster Separation Motor, is a critical component in space launch systems. It is responsible for the controlled separation of rocket boosters from the main vehicle during flight. By providing precise thrust at the designated moment, the BSM ensures that boosters detach safely and efficiently, allowing the main rocket to continue its ascent without interference. This function is vital for optimizing the vehicle's trajectory and performance, contributing to the overall success of space missions.
