REACCH

To complete the ADR mission, KMI has to securely interface with debris, despite most objects being uncontrolled and unprepared for capture. REACCH is an exclusive mechanically articulated end effector with a novel combination of previously-validated technologies in electrostatic and 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 orbital debris objects.
