Asteroid Box Construction (sry i have no pics)

Each of the four sides of the box were constructed in low earth orbit. Each side was made up of 4 smaller pieces, assembled in Leo.

After a side was done, it was tugged, by another rocket (that docked of course) to the asteroid.
This was repeated for each side of the box.

The sides were then docked together to trap the asteroid.

The entire mission took roughly a day to complete.

A temporary moon like 2020 CD3 so It will probably stay orbiting Earth for a while until the Sun’s gravity pulls the asteroid back into a solar orbit so your box will disappear.
