In the aerospace field, all the operations of using the aerodynamic decelerator to slow down an object and to stop its movement in the atmosphere are recovery operations. In recent decades, recovery technology, aviation rescue technology and airdrop technology have developed rapidly, and the term “recovery system” also has new meanings. This chapter introduces the categories and recovery modes of the recovery system, including the parachute system, the ground landing cushioning device and other recovery systems, and presents the present situation of the recovery technology in China and other countries. The parachute has been widely used in the aerospace, civil aviation and military aviation fields, such as for airdrop of parachutists, weapons and supplies, deceleration, stabilizing aerial bombs, recovery of aerospace craft and aircraft landing brake systems. The ground landing cushioning system is widely used in the landing of planetary probes and cushioning of the airdrop equipment in landing.
