Played it on Commodore 64. It was a space rocket/shuttle sim where you launched into space on a rocket amd progressed through some minigame-tasks.
(I am fairly certain it was not a good or widespread game.)
One of the tasks was about grabbing a satellite using an arm or a cable. You would try to extend it pixel by pixel to grab the satellite and it was super finicky. I only ever managed it by luck.
I try Google every few years and can’t get anywhere. Tried stuff with spacey names in emulators and looking on youtube. List of close-ish games it was not:
- Project Space Station
- Space Shuttle - A Journey Into Space (but this has really close vibes)
- Space Shuttle Challenger
- Apollo 18 Mission To The Moon
- Samantha Fox Strip Poker (i mean it could have been - had to check)

You’re welcome!
I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but you reminded me of Beamrider. We played the shit out of that one back in the day!
