I just read an article about the STS-115 mission and the "debries" floting along with the shuttle. It mentioned that some of the pieces look metalic (like washers).<br /><br />What would happen if the shuttle's robotic arm had a string magnet on the end of it?<br /><br />Could it pull small space debries from a significant disance (50m) for capture and inspection?<br /><br />Would it alter the trajectory of the shuttle?<br /><br />Would it screw up all the electronics on the shuttle and be a very bad idea?<br /><br />Just a random question.
