Abstract:
Significant leakage or "blow-by" of combustion products past the seals within a pyrotechnic cable cutter was detected during pyroshock testing of Mars Exploration Rover. Optical flight instruments would likely have been contaminated had they been attached during the test. Test plans and procedures that involve the firing of pyros should include several suggested measures predicated on an assumption that hazardous blow-by will occur.
