1. A spacecraft comprising:
a main body that has an accommodation space for accommodating an electronic device therein;
an oscillator configured to output a radio wave including a frequency of a predetermined frequency band;
an amplifier that is disposed on an exterior portion of the main body to be exposed to space and configured to amplify electric power of the radio wave output by the oscillator; and
an antenna that is disposed on the exterior portion of the main body and is for emitting the radio wave to an outside with the electric power amplified by the amplifier,
wherein the amplifier and the antenna are fixed on a same exterior surface of the exterior portion of the main body to be arranged along a central axis of the antenna.
