Then there was the "Gemini Patch", a large piece of double sticky tape
put on the access hatches to the Gemini space capsules.  Any loose bits
floating around the capsule would become stuck to the patch and would no
longer be a danger.
        I do that for underwater cameras I work on.  I put a big piece of
double sided carpet tape on the side of the housing where it won't get
in the way.  Every once in a while I find lock washers or other debris
stuck to the tape, that would otherwise be bouncing off the lenses.
