I don't know about the International Space Station but I ran around for three weeks with two pieces of 10mm brass lodged in the windshield wiper tray of my pickup after I was shooting at the local outdoor range.
It was only parked about 25' behind the firing line.

:D :D :D
That is so close to the truth. Even with a 26# recoil spring.
i regularly loose about 30% of my brass. i think it burns up on reentry. My G20 only tossed full strentgh loads about15', while the P220 tosses 25-30", accompanied by 30% brass loss.I think I need to get a 48 or 50# recoil spring.
Lol, same with my P220 Hunter : (
Yeah, I need to notify the neighboring Zip Code when I'm shooting the Witness Longslide !
I lose more like 50% of my brass, between the distance it flies and the fact it's a hay field I shoot at, it's tough to recover much

Wonder if you set up one of those open tent shade structures nearby to capture the brass. Might work for me as I set up on the prairie with a Caldwell shooters table. Standing offhand would be another problem needing a bigger tent!
when I am going to shoot a bunch of 10mm, I set up one of those portable sun shades and hang screen on the right side and back. it stops the brass and really cuts the losses.
😀
I built this collapsible net. Set it on a tarp and stand by the net to shoot. It's easy to transport and stores nicely.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201116/97f64d175081d6f72bf6047e2d2facf1.jpg)

I took the idea of the Catch-All, Brass Catcher

.... and increased it to this:

I can set it up, on the Bench:

Or on a TriPod for standing, offhand shooting
It's been 99%+ affective
I have a flat bottom firing pin stop on the way, and 3 extra power mainsprings (aka hammer springs)to try, 25, 28, and 30 pounds. I'm hoping that this will slow down the slide enough to reduce the distance the gun throws the brass. Don't want to increase the recoil spring if I do not have to.
I have to chase down my 10's also , my brass catcher got a girl friend and that's the last I saw of him
Must be home rolled ;D
Yea this must be a 10mm thing 'cause my Kimber Target II LS sends spent casings no lie about 27' out at about 4:00 . My gun club now has new handgun "micro bays" which use concrete walls that are about 12' high and the bays are about 14' wide so my brass just bounces off the wall and falls into a nice pile at the base of the wall.
😀
I have teaching privileges at a local range where they have the last two lanes setup for instructors with floor to wall barriers between the booths which contain my hard to recover brass like .357 SIG, and 10mm.
I don't think I could / would suffer double digit percentage loss of brass outdoors without a setup like some above. Good thinking!
I just fitted a flat bottom firing pin stop on my SR1911-10, but it didn't help much at all. Brass ended up at the border instead of all the way over in the next county. Probably heavier recoil springs rather than mainsprings or a combination thereof may help.

Even my 10mm flings it away, far away.
I built this epic contraption to recover 357 Auto Mag brass, which takes ages to form. It looks laughable and works great. I've since modified it by adding a sunshade feature. It does a great job recovering almost everything inshoot including 10mm.
