In order to provide a satellite information autonomous distribution satellite capable of collecting attribute information for satellites after failure or damage occurs at or to the satellite, an information collection device is operated by a second power supply provided independently from the first power supply operating the satellite bus system, is provided separately from the satellite bus system, and collects and stores attribute information. The light receiver is provided separately from the satellite bus system and forms a prescribed control signal when light sent from the information collection station is received. The reflecting type light modulating device is operated by the second power supply, is provided separately from the satellite bus system, and transmits reflected light superimposed with a modulation signal containing attribute information in the reflected waves using this modulation signal when a modulation signal is formed based on attribute information stored in the information collection device according to the shape of the control signal.
