A deployable/retractable expandable bag system for enclosure and release of space objects, constructed from materials exhibiting abrasion resistance and ballistic protection. Pressurized expandable textile trusses support textile membrane materials exhibiting radial contracting or collapsing contracting directional qualities. Stabilizing wires define bag length and minimize rotational forces of the captured object. Upon entry of the space object into the bag system, pressurized gas in trusses is released. The expandable trusses and membranes retract over and onto the space object. The expandable bag may be re-pressurized, and the bag re-opened, for removal and redirection of the space object; upon re-stowing, the system is ready for another capture mission.
