Debris Dozer-My Solution to Debris

[flyin_ruski]

I catch the desired piece of debris in the 'cup', put it on a sub-orbital trajectory, and the release it! This was the first test and it passed with flying colors. Later versions I think I will make the 'cup' bigger. I may use a version of this for the upcoming asteroid...

Use some landing legs as arms to secure/lock the debris in place

The Ultimate Test - Clean MY LKO

Or my Kerbol system

Hmmm almost challenge accepted...I need to conduct further tests!

Looks kinda like mine, but on steroids. What's the part count on that beast?

Also, yours can / does re-orbit itself afterward so it can go for another round, right?

Nice idea However, I would put retro thrusters on that thing to save you having to turn around after dumping the space-junk.

Gotta check the part count, the launcher itself is around 450 parts.

It can re orbit itself and has a docking port inside the 'cup' for re- fueling. I still have to test it on clusters and chains of debris

That's an awesome idea musketeer. I'm going to try it.

236 parts but I can easily build a super sized version (which I will when the asteroid comes about).
