ABSTRACT:
A plurality of spacecrafts having their own functions are each provided with a communication controller and its own mission, and communicate with each other to perform specific operations. In addition, a plurality of units having particular functions are housed in a system dock, and arbitrary ones of these units are combined to constitute a spacecraft according to the use. Units responsible for performing the specific operations are interchangeably connected, so as to be separable from the individual spacecraft.
