PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an orbit control device of a formation flying satellite providing an observation direction of an observation sensor such as a radio wave sensor including an optical sensor or a SAR, a cross track interferometry SAR, an along track, an interferometry SAR or a relative orbit fitted to a stereoscopic vision. SOLUTION: An orbit coordinate system is defined using the moving point on a reference orbit defined from an observation mission in an orbit cycle as an origin. In a plurality of satellites flying in the formation within the range of about several tens of km from the origin, the satellite flying on the origin is set to be a reference satellite. The satellite other than the reference satellite is relatively moved in an outside direction of the orbit surface of the reference orbit by utilizing the relative orbit movement with respect to the orbit coordinate system.
