Pair of documents describe mechanism allowing astronaut to capture in extravehicular activity small artificial satellite for retrieval and return to Earth. Mechanism operates by insertion of probe in nozzle of rocket motor on satellite, followed by expansion of inserted probe end to grasp motor inside nozzle and thereby capture satellite. Designed for specific satellite, but operating principle adapted to almost any satellite equipped with rocket motor or possibly used in retrieval of hollow-shaped objects in marine and other salvage operations.
