What can be grabbed with the Advanced Grabbing Unit?
I'm curious as to what can be grabbed with the Advanced Grabbing Unit from the Asteroid Redirect Mission update. The wiki says that it can "pick up just about anything," but that's just not reassuring enough. Can it grab space debris from orbit? How large does the object have to be in order to be grabbed? Any videos of it?
Best Answer
They can grab onto other ships/stations/satellites as well. If you launched ships without docking ports that need rescuing/refueling, launch a refueling vessel with an Advanced Grabbing Unit, and it can latch onto the stranded ship and is then considered "docked" with the other ship, and can transfer fuel to it.

Can the advanced grabbing unit transfer fuel?
As you can see in the screen shots, fuel transfer works within the same vessel but not through the Advance Grabbing Unit.How do you grab an asteroid in KSP?
Comets can be found and monitored via the tracking station. Like asteroids, comets are fully under control of the physics system. They can be rotated or accelerated by the application of torque or thrust, and moved into a different orbit or another body's sphere of influence with correct maneuvering.KSP Experiment 7: Advanced Grabbing Unit
