Provided are a space debris removing device and a method which enable easy installation of a deceleration device to space debris undergoing a tumbling motion. The space debris removing device includes: a propulsion device (3) for performing approach and attitude control on target debris (1); a capture device (4) having a harpoon (41) which can be ejected toward the target debris (1); an observation device (5) for calculating a capture position (E) and a capture attitude at which the harpoon (41) can be driven into a tank (11) (hollow portion) of the target debris (1) by observing a motion of the target debris (1); a deceleration device (6) directly or indirectly connected to the harpoon (41), for decelerating the target debris (1); and a body part (21) on which the propulsion device (3), the capture device (4), the observation device (5), and the deceleration device (6) are mounted.
