REACCH

To complete a removal, maneuver, or ADR mission, KMI has to securely interface with orbital objects, even though most are uncontrolled and unprepared for capture. REACCH is an exclusive, mechanically articulated end effector with a novel combination of previously validated technologies and mechanical gecko adhesion to enable soft and secure capture of objects in space. REACCH is capable of non-destructively securing and selectively releasing objects of nearly any shape, size, or surface condition, making it extremely ubiquitous in capturing a wide variety of objects within a multi-use, multi-capture framework.
