The author defines the twistor space of de Sitter space \(\mathbb S^3_1 = \text{SO}_{3,1}/ \text{SO}_{2,1}\) as the space \(Z =\text{SO}_{3,1}/SO_2 \) of oriented space-like 2-planes in \(T{S}^3_1\). The horizontal distribution of the fibration \(\pi : \mathbb Z \to \text{SO}_{3,1}/ \text{SO}_{2,1} \times \text{SO}_{1,1}\) carries two natural invariant complex structures \(J^+, J^-\). Let \( f: M \to \mathbb S^3_1\) be a space-like map of a Riemannian surface into \(\mathbb S^3_1\) and \(\hat f: M \to \mathbb Z\) its natural lift to \(\mathbb Z\). The author proves that if \(f(M)\) is a space-like totally umbilic surface with constant nonzero mean curvature, then its lift is a \(J^+\)-holomorphic horizontal map and conversely the projection to \(\mathbb S^3_1\) of a \(J^+\)-holomorphic horizontal map into \(\mathbb Z\) is a totally umbilic surface of constant nonzero mean curvature. Similar, the projection onto \(\mathbb S^3_1\) of a \(J^-\)-holomorphic horizontal map \(\psi : M \to \mathbb Z\) of a Riemannian surface \(M\) is a conformal space-like harmonic map with isolated umbilic points.
