Orbital debris removal concept -- Please poke holes in it...

[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6863638, member: 447632"] One trap, for beginners in the art of catching particles with tethers, or in sheets, is the speed of sound in the material. The velocity of the particle to be captured, will need to be less than the speed of a mechanical wave in the tether or the sheet. Fast particles cause local damage before the bulk of the material can become a momentum drogue, and so begin to slow the particle. [/QUOTE]
