iss073e0815288 (Sept. 29, 2025) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 73 Flight Engineer Mike Fincke shows off the Voyager Flytrap technology demonstration that he installed inside the NanoRacks Bishop airlock. Flytrap will test an inflatable capture bag designed to capture and secure orbital debris or sample containers returning from the Moon and Mars. The technology may also support future space mining techniques on small asteroids. The demonstration will evaluate the bag’s ability to deploy, inflate, and capture space objects while maintaining an airtight seal in microgravity.
