Claim 30:
31. A control program for a drone system in which a drone and a movable body operate in coordination with each other, the movable body being capable of moving with the drone aboard and allowing the drone to make a takeoff and a landing,
the movable body including:
a takeoff-landing area on which the drone can be placed and that serves as a takeoff-landing point from and on which the drone takes off and lands;
a movement control section capable of moving the movable body together with the drone aboard; and
a movable body transmission section that sends information on the movable body,

the drone including:
a flight control section that causes the drone to fly; and
a drone reception section that receives information on the movable body,

the control program causing a computer to execute:
a command to cause the drone to retain a position of the takeoff-landing point at a time when the drone is on the takeoff-landing point;
a command to cause the drone to send information on a position at which the drone is to land, to the movable body; and
a command to cause, in a case where a position of the movable body is not a position that allows the drone to return, the movable body to move to a position that allows the drone to return or to notify a user of a request for moving the movable body.
