A communication satellite (200A) flies in an orbit (21) with an orbital inclination θi deg and is equipped with a communication device (51C) having a visual field change range of ±θi deg around a Z axis with respect to a +X axis, where a +Z axis direction oriented in a plus direction in right-handed coordinates is geocentric direction and a +X axis direction oriented in the plus direction in the right-handed coordinates is forwarding direction. When passing the right ascension of ascending node, the communication satellite (200A) performs communication with a communication satellite (201) flying on the north side of an equatorial plane (401) in an orbit (22) that is adjacent in a longitude direction of a normal vector of an orbital plane of the orbit (21). Thus, even when adjacent orbits are laterally changed at the northern extremities of orbital planes, a communication circuit between the communication satellite (200A) and the communication satellite (201) does not break.
