The device has a veil (14) that is spreadable in a folded position, and an inflation part (26) placed in a chamber. The veil is made of material that is selected from one of Kevlar (RTM: para-aramid synthetic fiber) and Dyneema (RTM: ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fiber). A fine membrane covers a net of the veil. A connecting part applies tensile force to a captured object when a vehicle (10) is moved by a motor unit e.g. chemical or electric rocket motor. The connecting part connects the vehicle to the veil and/or a component. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for capturing and coupling with a view to de-orbiting or re-orbiting of an object (2) a method for capturing and coupling with a view to de-orbiting or re-orbiting of an object.
