Altius Space Machines also began work in 2012 developing Gecko-adhesive grippers, as part of work to build a "Gecko Gripper Touch-to-Grasp tool" that incorporated JPL’s "synthetic Gecko adhesive technology that mimics the ability of Gecko lizards to adhere to walls." The work leveraged previous work done by Altius on uncooperative capture mechanisms using electroadhesion. In 2014, Altius began work on a magnetoshell aerocapture and aerobraking technology for cubesats. Called "MIDAS", Multi-Purpose Interplanetary Deployable Aerocapture System, the 6U cubesats will be designed to be used on an interplanetary mission such as to Mars, Venus, or Jupiter’s moon Europa Other work includes the "Kraken Asteroid
