Recovery system and recovery method

A recovery method executed by a recovery system that recovers a spacecraft whose craft descends while thrust is generated the recovery system including a plurality of cable-like members connected to the craft and extending toward an outer side of the craft during craft descent, a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles respectively capturing the cable-like members while flying, and a recovery structure into which the plurality of captured cable-like members that have been released by the unmanned aerial vehicles are latched, thereby supporting the spacecraft in a suspended state, the recovery structure being provided at a landing point of the spacecraft, the recovery method comprising:

• latching the plurality of captured cable-like members into the recovery structure during the craft descent, using the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles;
• releasing the cable-like members from capture, using the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles;
• and
• suspending and supporting the spacecraft after the thrust of the spacecraft is stopped, using the recovery structure.
