Claim 4:
5. A debris retrieval satellite, comprising:
a capture interface instrument to be provided in each of a debris retrieval satellite to retrieve debris,
the debris retrieval satellite including a first satellite, a second satellite, and processing circuity configured to generate a control command to capture the debris by sandwiching the debris between the first satellite and the second satellite, and transmit the control command to at least one of the first satellite and the second satellite,
the first satellite and the second satellite each including a propulsion device,
wherein the capture interface instrument is placed such that a center-of-gravity position of a flying object, which is the first satellite, the debris, and the second satellite, wherein a central body of the first satellite, the debris, and a central body of the second satellite are connected together by physical contact, between the debris and the respective central bodies of the first satellite and second satellite, is on a straight line of a traveling direction vector of the propulsion device.
