An apparatus communication device (950) communicates with at least one of a parent satellite (310) and a child satellite (320). A control unit (110) generates a control command (51) to capture debris by sandwiching the debris between the parent satellite (310) and the child satellite (320) and carry out an active control operation during orbital descent on a flying object which is the parent satellite (310), the debris, and the child satellite (320) being connected together. Then, the control unit (110) transmits the control command (51) to at least one of the parent satellite (310) and the child satellite (320) via the apparatus communication device (950).
