With the development of the aerospace technology, reducing the cost of exploring space has become the target of most countries. The recovery of rocket boosters is regarded as one of the most effective solutions to this problem. A whole recovery scheme of the drag parachute and controllable parafoil for accurate landing is designed in this paper, in view of the high reliability and low cost of the parachute recovery system. The models of the parachute-payload in the deceleration stage and the parafoil-payload in the gliding stage are established. On the basis of the high-fidelity models, the motion characteristics of the whole recovery process are simulated considering the external disturbances and internal disturbances such as the turbulent wind and angle uncertainty. This work provides the parameter reference for the accurate recovery control of the booster.
