Abstract
A satellite visibility assignment device () includes a visibility unit setter (), a visibility unit selector (), and an optimization calculator (). The visibility unit setter () sets visibility units each including a combination of a satellite and a station to communicate with the satellite, a lower limit of a visibility start time, and an upper limit of a visibility end time. The optimization calculator () determines whether the visibility start time and the visibility end time are settable for each of the one or more combinations of the visibility units within a range satisfying a set constraint and calculates the visibility start time and the visibility end time through an optimization calculation. The visibility unit selector () selects, from the combinations of the visibility units, a combination of the visibility units to be used based on determination of the optimization calculator ().
