A satellite constellation forming system forms a satellite constellation (20) having N orbital planes (21) (N being a natural number) with mutually different normal directions. A satellite constellation forming unit forms the satellite constellation (20) in which each orbital plane (21) of the N orbital planes is an elliptical orbit with the same eccentricity and the same major axis. In the satellite constellation (20), an elevation angle of a major axis of each orbital plane (21) of the N orbital planes has a relative angle of 360/N degrees with respect to each other. In the satellite constellation (20), an azimuth direction of each orbital plane (21) of the N orbital planes has a relative angle of 180/N degrees with respect to each other.
