To provide an observation control device, an observation system, and a spacecraft, and an observation control method, and an observation control program, capable of more stably performing observation.SOLUTION: An observation control device 60 applicable to a plurality of sensor systems (#1 to #n) mounted on a spacecraft for performing observation comprises: a determination unit for determining whether each of the sensor systems (#1 to #n) is in a state capable of performing normal observation; and an adjustment unit that when it is determined that at least one of the sensor systems (#1 to #n) is not in a state capable of performing normal observation, adjusts states of allocation of target search and/or target tracking functions of sensors whose state capable of performing normal observation is determined among the sensor systems (#1 to #n).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】より安定的に観測を行うことのできる観測制御装置、観測システム、及び宇宙機、並びに観測制御方法、並びに観測制御プログラムを提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】観測を行うために宇宙機に搭載された複数のセンサ系統（＃１から＃ｎ）に適用可能な観測制御装置６０であって、各センサ系統（＃１から＃ｎ）において正常観測が可能な状態であるか否かを判定する判定部と、各センサ系統（＃１から＃ｎ）のうち少なくとも１つに対して正常観測が可能な状態でないと判定された場合に、各センサ系統（＃１から＃ｎ）のうち正常観測が可能な状態であると判定させたセンサにおける目標捜索及び／または目標追尾の機能の割り当て状態を調整する調整部とを備える。【選択図】図２
