Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device fixing apparatus etc. having low cost and simple construction and capable of fixing an arbitrary device to an arbitrary object.SOLUTION: A device fixing apparatus 10 includes: an extending part 11 attached to a space debris removing device 20, for example, and extending forward; and an engaging part 12 attached to the front end of the extending part 11 and inserted into a PAF (Payload Attach Fitting) of a space debris. The engaging part 12 includes a plurality of protruding members 13, and a protruding member fixing member 14 fixing the protruding members 13 to the front end of the extending part 11 while the protruding members 13 are arranged radially. The engaging part 12 is constituted in such a way that: when the protruding members 13 are in a stored state, the whole of the engaging part 12 becomes smaller than the opening of the PAF a cavity part); and after the engaging part 12 has been inserted into the opening of the PAF by the extension of the extending part 11, the protruding members 13 can transition from the stored state to the protruded state. 【課題】 低コストかつ簡素な構成で、任意の物体に任意のデバイスを固定することが可能な、デバイス固定装置等を提供する。【解決手段】 デバイス固定装置10は、例えばスペースデブリ除去デバイス20に取り付けられ、前方向に伸展する伸展部11と、伸展部11の前端に取り付けられ、スペースデブリが備えるPAFの内部に挿入される係合部12とを備えている。係合部12は複数の突出部材13と、これら突出部材13を放射状に配置した状態で伸展部11の前端に固定する突出部材固定部材14とを備えている。係合部12は、突出部材13が収納状態にあるときには、当該係合部12全体がPAF(空洞部)の開口よりも小さくなるように構成され、また、伸展部11の伸展によりPAFの開口内に挿入された後には、突出部材13を収納状態から突出状態に移行させるよう構成されている。【選択図】 図1
