Abstract
To enable monitoring of a monitoring target from an artificial satellite.SOLUTION: A monitoring system 100 comprises an artificial satellite 101 that flies in an orbit. The orbit is a sun-synchronous orbit, an inclined orbit, and an elliptical orbit. The artificial satellite 101 flies through the perigee of the orbit at a timing when the local time of the monitoring target is 12 o'clock. The artificial satellite 101 includes a monitoring device 102 for monitoring the monitoring target, a pointing function for changing a monitoring direction of the monitoring device 102, and a monitoring control device 110 that directs the monitoring direction toward the monitoring target by controlling the pointing function.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
