A device is presented for attachment to the arm of a remote manipulator system carried by a first space vehicle for grasping, aligning and firmly coupling with a payload in the form of a satellite or other object which is in substantial misalignment and/or rotating with respect to the coupling device. The coupling device is characterized by its simplicity, light-weight, small size, low cost and, most importantly, its reliability. Although the device was designed primarily for use in coupling space vehicles, smaller versions of the device can conceivably be used on the end of any remote type manipulator arm such as, for example, those used in handling radioactive materials or in undersea exploration.
