A reaction wheel detects an angular momentum. A satellite controller selects a target thruster based on the detected angular momentum. A power supply apparatus changes adjustment electric power for the target thruster. A flow rate adjustment apparatus supplies a propellant to the target thruster at a flow rate corresponding to the adjustment electric power. This changes a thrust of the target thruster. When a discharge current of the target thruster does not become a target current, the power supply apparatus further changes the adjustment electric power for the target thruster.
