A pin array release and capture chamber system includes a chamber assembly having two parallel plates of pin arrays from which a plurality of pins extends and retract vertically opposite each other so as to release and capture a space vehicle. The pin arrays are separated from each other by a space having two vertical and two horizontal sides, and the space is sized so as to receive the space vehicle. Each pin arrays may be housed in a pin array chamber enclosure. The chamber assembly may be attached to a moving object, such as a host space vessel.
