1. A free-space optical communication control system comprising
at least one processor,
the at least one processor carrying out:
a first detection process of detecting a change in a connection relationship between a first free-space optical communication apparatus and a second free-space optical communication apparatus adjacent to the first free-space optical communication apparatus;
a second detection process of detecting a transition of work stages in accordance with the change in the connection relationship detected and plan information indicating a connection relationship between the first free-space optical communication apparatus and the second free-space optical communication apparatus in each of the work stages; and
a connection control process of controlling, according to the transition of the work stages detected, which connection destination is connected to the first free-space optical communication apparatus.
