Spacecraft recovery and landing technology is a comprehensive engineering technology, which involves a wide range of special technologies, including overall design technology, structure and mechanism technology, thermal protection technology, aerodynamic deceleration technology, landing buffer technology, electro-explosive device (EED) technology, radio technology, power control, supply and distribution technology and others. The spacecraft recovery technology originated from the sounding rocket recovery system. As early as the early 1930 s, the pioneers of modern rocket technology used parachutes to recover the rocket body or payload during the early flight test with small test rocket, in order to analyze the working conditions and data of various rocket components during the test. Such parachute deceleration system is called recovery system. This system on a manned spacecraft is generally called recovery and landing system due to the existence of human beings on the spacecraft.
