A retractor for a belt for retaining objects in space environments that has an outer housing containing a spool for the belt is associated with a centrifugally activated braking mechanism that allows the belt to unwind normally when the belt is pulled to extract the belt from the belt retractor. During a rewinding phase, the centrifugally activated braking mechanism automatically limits a rewinding speed of the belt on the spool.
