Provided are a debris removal system that can remove space debris of various sizes including relatively large one as well effectively, and a space device for the system. A space device 100 includes: an adhesion part 110 to adhere to a target existing in the space; and a propulsion part 120 to obtain propulsion power. The space device that adheres to the target at the adhesion part 110 moves together with the target by the propulsion part 120, thereby conveying the target to a predetermined target position. A debris removal system 1 includes: a guide-control part 300 configured to move the space device 100 close to the space debris so as to let the space device 100 adhere to the space debris with the adhesion part 110; and a propulsion control part 230 configured to control the propulsion part 120 of the space device 100 so as to move the space device 100 adhering to the space debris toward the atmosphere together with the space debris by the propulsion part 120 of the space device 100.
