A formation flight control device (210) for generating and outputting orbit control information for controlling observation satellites (200) in an observation satellite group orbiting a celestial body and sequentially observing a ground surface of the celestial body with an observation interval includes an orbit information acquirer (211), an orbit control information generator (212), and an orbit control information outputter (213). The orbit information acquirer (211) acquires orbit information indicating an observation time of a preceding observation satellite (200F) of which an observation order precedes by one, and an orbit of the preceding observation satellite (200F) at the observation time. The orbit control information generator (212) generates, based on the orbit information, the orbit control information indicating an orbit and a phase allowing flying, after the observation interval, vertically above an intersection point between the ground surface and a straight line connecting a center of the celestial body and the preceding observation satellite (200F) at the observation time. The orbit control information outputter (213) outputs the orbit control information.
