ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for remotely attaching one object to another object comprising: (a) a target consisting of layers of contrasting hardness attached to one object, wherein the outer layer is a relatively soft composition and the underlying base is a relatively hard composition, and (b) a projectile of intermediate hardness attached to the other object. By propelling the projectile against the target, the projectile penetrates the softer outer layer and expands upon impact with the inner layer, thus securely anchoring the two objects together. Such a method and apparatus are useful in outer space and underwater applications.
