Provided is a space vehicle that, while having a relatively simple structure that can be reduced in size, can capture an object with no need for high-accuracy positioning. A space vehicle 1 includes: a main body 10; a movable portion 11 configured to reciprocate in an axial direction with respect to the main body 10; and a magnetic force generation unit 20 attached to a distal end of the movable portion 11, and attracts, by a magnetic force, a platelike body 2 attached to an object T in outer space. The magnetic force generation unit 20 includes: a magnet support member 23 attached to a distal end of the movable portion 11 via a buffer elastic body 22; and a plurality of permanent magnets 24 laid on a surface of the magnet support member 23 to form an attraction region C. When a drive unit 30 moves the movable portion 11 away from the main body 10, the attraction region C protrudes from the main body 10 while maintaining a fixed orientation crossing the axial direction, and is changeable in position and/or orientation by the buffer elastic body 22 in the case where an external force is applied.
