A method of deploying a satellite constellation, wherein - by means of a single launcher, a plurality of satellites are deployed (10) at an initial altitude on an initial orbit, - said satellites are driven (20) so as to that each satellite reaches a drift altitude among a set of drifts, to which the orbits of the different satellites are shifted (30) relative to each other under the effect of the gravitational potential of the earth, - the satellites are controlled so as to to be displaced (40) sequentially to reach the same final altitude, said sequential movement being carried out so that the satellites describe final orbits angularly offset relative to each other.
