Unfortunately, Trebuchets work on a counterweight system, making them highly effective on Earth, but less so in the weightlessness of space. I mean, me too thanks.
We need to change the terminology. You know when they say you 'slingshot' objects past planets with gravity? Makes more sense if it was 'trebuchet' instead, doesn't it?

Trebuchet can launch a 90 kg projectile 300 m.. But in space, this is to go even further beyond!
