An apparatus and method that make use of electromagnetic energy to maneuver an object, such as stop, slow, and/or divert a vessel or projectile in low and zero-gravity environments. The apparatus comprises an element capable of generating a magnetic field in the zero or low-gravity environment, and an object capable of electromagnetically interacting with the magnetic field so that the object's speed and/or trajectory is altered when moving in proximity to the magnetic-field generating element. As such, the method entails maneuvering an object in a zero or low-gravity environment by generating a magnetic field in the zero or low-gravity environment, and then moving the object in proximity to the magnetic field such that the magnetic field alters the trajectory and/or speed of the object.
