A California-based startup, TransAstra, has created giant inflatable Capture Bags to collect space debris and asteroids of varied sizes. The system approaches a chosen object calmly before a spacecraft inflates the bag to surround it gently. As asteroids often have unpredictable structural features, a flexible cover would help handle them safely, preventing damage by using minimal force required.
