I've found that when tools at work get 'borrowed', tying them to a string actually works. It's like tethering. This can also work if you're trying to put a bolt in an awkward location and keep dropping it under the car. Tie a string to it until you get it threaded. Sockets and wrenches, too (I hate crawling under a car to retrieve a bolt). You can also put a napkin over the hex head of the bolt, and jam it into the socket, so it's a tighter fit that won't keep dropping out.

Dexterity must feel horrendous during space walks. At least for you, your hands are under pressure the mittens and gloves are pressed into the skin. For astronauts it is the opposite, the suit is pressurised against a vacuum, it would want to expand away from your fingers.

This is a real concern for workers at height (ironic that space workers are the highest lol) There's a sweat inducing fear of dropping your tool. Usually I put ribbons or strings to handhelds on my wrists. But a bigger object is especially dangerous because it could come slamming down on someone unexpectedly. Definitely injuring them or killing. I remember one day I was epoxying an incomplete stair well in a large building one day and the rollers grip imprinted itself into my hand I was holding it so tight.

The risks are quite high even if the robot is expendable compared to a human. You see, the robot needs to get out there, grab the thing, and get back with something that increases it's overall mass in short enough time to where it doesn't have to expend so much delta-v that it would run out and itself become space debris. It's not that it's impossible to go out and grab the thing you lost, it's that once orbits differ they will keep on differing more and more over time, requiring more and more propellant to rescue. It makes sense to go out of your way to rescue a human that's floating away from the ISS, but a piece of space debris isn't worth the risk. The management strategy that makes most sense is to track, avoid and wait for orbital decay.

@kindlin

@@RealCadde All true, but things can be engineered. You know the mass of the object dropped, the approximate initial delta v and the time it's been since release. With those numbers, and maybe a follow up range check to verify the velocity and distance, you can know if you're little automatic retrieval drone (or whatnot) can do the job. You could have a few small ones, a multi-use medium one, and one big boy you send out that maybe needs to be refueled after use from earth stocks.

Great video. Wow those space walks induce so much guttural fear in me, like floating away in Outer Wilds. And the clips of the ISS made me awe that something like that exists, and the collaboration it requires

Realistically a dropped object poses little threat to the craft it was dropped from as the relative velocity would be small, however for other space craft it can pose a threat due to much higher relative velocities.

I was working on an antenna on a boat in middle east once and something similar happened. Part of the basic maintenance was to replace hard rubber stops that assist the antenna in stopping its rotation. I had the new rubber stop in hand and between the fastener, screw driver, and 124 Fahrenheit heat it slipped from my hand, bounced off the mast, and plopped 60' down into the water. Needless to say, that is why you never throw away the past part if you can help it until the work is finished.

Need little controllable space drones to push tools back manually with some form of gas to propel it. Wonder if something similar is being worked on if it is possible to do.

The journeyman I was aprenticing under once told me of a time he'd dropped a live line. It got too close to the secondary line below, and made for an interesting day.

All the dropped tools are still easier to retrieve than a 10mm socket dropped in an engine bay. 🤣

I now tape the 10s to a string and tie them off before I even start. On the other hand, they're kind of like the Take a Penny, Leave a Penny of sockets. I once dropped one on the ground at home, and found one on the ground in a parking lot later (different brand, but both 10s).

i can imagine in the future when we get in to space on a larger scale orbital debris being a shit load of lost 10mm sockets floating around.

I used to work on a maintenence squadron in the military. It was a while ordeal whenever someone lost a tool and I can only imagine the headache that that that causes when in space!

Thanks for the advice

So if the video showed monkeys in suits, you’d believe that too right???? It’s call cgi . Fish eyes lens. RESEARCH YOURSELF. Large bodies of water NEVER CURVE, repeat NEVER CURVE AT A REST. “Theory” of gravity still till today , is actually; density and buoyancy. No such thing as space. Antarctica Treaty was created a year before nasa was for a reason. To prevent us from showing each other the edge/walls containing our oceans and known lands. SIMPLE. What’s intriguing is HOW’ ? And what happened before the 1800’s and or even before 1776, when “they” were ready to start system we have in place today for our humanity.

This might be a stupid question but technically since your harnessed to the iss couldn't you go after the tools and then just pull your self back from the tether your connected to? Or since there's no gravity could you pull the iss off track since there's no gravity? Cause there's no way the tether isn't strong enough for you to pull yourself back.

Develop a passive spacesuit attractor to reign in items that float away. Or place one on the side or the station and area in which you work. Electro magnet or static electricity and each item have the material on it which is attracted. Conversely have one over the area working on which catches things. Or debris net. Use AI lidar equipped robot who’s tasked with item retrieval with a tether to the station for backup retrieval.

Sounds like when I'm on my sailboat. I have dropped several tools and a set of car keys while working on the sailboat in its slip. Safety straps are needed when going forward in less than calm weather. I was saddened loosing my keys but still able to located them using my GoPro camera but no way to snag them before Tamatoa carried off the keys.

I got to see a grease gun fall from space. It was pretty cool looking. Even though it was burning up in the atmosphere it still looks like a grease fire

I'm thinking, a way to reduce the chance for tools to fall out of the hand of astronaut is just having all tools to be tethered on either the spacesuit or the space station anchor, with a propelled magnet tethered tool to try and catch some smaller object that fell, with the magnet system even if it can't really pull back the object it *may* give enough magnetic pull to slow down the object even more to reduce it's speed, making more likely to get deorbit back to earth than having it orbit around the space and causes any big issue

I wonder why personal mobility units/jetpacks are not more common for spacewalks, it can be used to retrieve objects that floats away

I wonder if space suits could use prosthetics for the hands. Have the actual human hand completely enclosed and free to move inside the suit, then use that hand to control a prosthetic on the outside. Even something as simple as a purely mechanical two-finger gripper on one hand might be more useful than a full hand with fat fingers.
