A capturing plate is attached to an on-orbit device, and the capturing plate is attached to a part of the on-orbit device where a capturing device bonds to the on-orbit device in space with a bonding component, including adhesive, of the capturing device. A method for capturing the on-orbit device includes moving the capturing device including the bonding component to the on-orbit device and letting the bonding component of the capturing device adhere to the on-orbit device.

Capturing plate, on-orbit device and method for capturing

A space device includes: an adhesion part to adhere to a target existing in the space; and a propulsion part to obtain propulsion power. The space device that adheres to the target at the adhesion part moves together with the target by the propulsion part, thereby conveying the target to a predetermined target position.

Space device, debris removal system, and method for removing debris

A rotation suppressing deviceincludes: a body; a shaftextending outward from the bodyand configured to rotate about a first rotation axis A; a rotation partconfigured to rotate about a second rotation axis Atogether with the shaft; a capture partfixed to the rotation partand configured to capture space debris D; a braking partconfigured to suppress rotation of the shaft; and a body rotation suppressing partconfigured to suppress rotation of the bodyoccurring when the braking partoperates.
