なくなるからである。The conventional satellite cluster mentioned above consists of multiple satellites of the same U, each of which is equipped with a solar battery that is suitable for the maximum power required for mission operation and a battery for mission operation during a solar eclipse. . The reason for installing batteries is that since each satellite is placed close to each other in geostationary orbit, multiple satellites that make up a satellite cluster will enter a solar eclipse at almost the same time, and all the solar cells installed on each satellite will be used up. This is because it will no longer be available.
したがって、従来の衛星クラスタ方式（ては、太陽電池
の利用効率が悪く、衛星の重量が重くなるという問題が
ある。Therefore, the conventional satellite cluster system has problems in that the utilization efficiency of solar cells is poor and the weight of the satellite increases.

A satellite for power generation is located in a geostationary orbit, and a first power generation satellite and a second power generation satellite that supply power obtained from solar cells to the mission satellite sandwich the mission satellite from both sides in the geostationary orbit. The first power generation satellite and the second power generation satellite are spaced apart from each other by 18 or more, and when the first Ft satellite enters a solar eclipse, the first power generation satellite receives sunlight. A second power generation satellite supplies power to the mission satellite, and when the second power generation satellite enters a solar eclipse, the first power generation satellite supplies power to the mission satellite. do.
