To provide a monitoring system that can constantly monitor the entire globe with a small number of satellites and has high monitoring performance such as spatial resolution and monitoring performance.SOLUTION: A communication satellite 201 includes: a first optical communication device 51C that performs optical communication with a satellite in front when passing above the equator northward; a second optical communication device 52C that performs optical communication with a satellite behind; a third optical communication device 53C that performs optical communication with a satellite flying northeast of an adjacent orbit on an east side; a fourth optical communication device 54C that performs optical communication with a satellite flying southwest of an adjacent orbit on a west side; and a communication device 55C that is directed in -Z direction and communicates with the monitoring satellite 100. An azimuth communication field of view of the third optical communication device 53C is ±90 degrees or more with respect to -X direction. An azimuth communication field of view of the fourth optical communication device 54C is ±90 degrees or more with respect to -X direction. A communication field of view of the communication device 55C with respect to the monitoring satellite 100 is ±60 degrees or more around the +X axis and ±60 degrees or more around the +Y axis with respect to -Z direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13
