Abstract
To more reliably land a flying body at a desired point, a flying body includes a determiner that determines whether the flying body is taking off and ascending from a takeoff point or descending to land, a camera mounted in the flying body, a recorder that records a lower image captured by the camera if it is determined that the flying body is taking off and ascending and a guider that, if it is determined that the flying body is descending to land, guides the flying body to the takeoff point while descending using a lower image recorded in the recorder during takeoff/ascent and a lower image captured during the descent.
