An artificial satellite system according to the present invention includes first and second artificial satellites. An antenna of the first satellite transmits a radio wave (transmission signal) to the second satellite. An antenna of the second satellite receives the transmission signal. A software defined radio of the second satellite generates a signal having the same frequency and phase as the transmission signal has. The antenna of the second satellite transmits a radio wave of a signal generated by the second satellite to the first satellite. The antenna of the first satellite receives the radio wave (reception signal) transmitted by the second satellite. A data processing device of the first satellite determines a relative distance between the first and second satellites by using the difference between a transmission time of the transmission signal and a reception time of the reception signal and the phase difference between the transmission and reception signals.
