A communication satellite flies in an orbit with an orbital inclination θi deg and is equipped with a communication device having a visual field change range of ±θi deg around a Z axis with respect to a +X axis, where a +Z axis direction is geocentric direction and a +X axis direction is forwarding direction. When passing the right ascension of ascending node, the communication satellite performs communication with a communication satellite flying on the north side of an equatorial plane in an orbit that is adjacent in a longitude direction of a normal vector of an orbital plane of the orbit. Thus, even when adjacent orbits are laterally changed at the northern extremities of orbital planes, a communication circuit between the communication satellite and the communication satellite does not break.
