A satellite constellation (110) includes a plurality of artificial satellites flying on an inclined circular orbit for each of six or more orbital planes having a common orbital inclination and arranged so that south and north axes are mutually shifted in an east-west direction. The plurality of artificial satellites include eight or more artificial satellites for each orbital plane. Each of the artificial satellites includes a fore-and-aft communication device. For each orbital plane, each of the artificial satellites forms a communication network with front and rear artificial satellites by the fore-and-aft communication device. Each of the artificial satellites on each orbital plane crosses southern and northern edges of the orbital plane in synchronization with artificial satellites on other orbital planes, and forms a communication network with that artificial satellites by the fore-and-aft communication device.
