A retaining and releasing device for spaceships retains and releases a body to/from a support structure. A releasing bolt keeps the releasable body and the support structure connected in a position for locking the retaining and releasing device. A locking device for locking the releasing bolt in the support structure has a case and a segmented ring. The case is movable axially relative to the releasing bolt and includes an end with a through-slot. A releasing system includes an actuator, a rod having the same orientation as the releasing bolt, with a locking pin, cooperating with the slot, and a compression spring. The actuator locks the rod in a position for locking the retaining and releasing device. The compression spring is in contact with the case of the locking device and disposed around the rod to rotate the rod. The device includes a system for removing the releasing bolt.
