Abstract: We deal here with the geometry of the twistor fibration $$ over the De Sitter 3-space. The total space $mathcalZ$ is a five dimensional reductive homogeneous space with two canonical invariant almost CR structures. Fixed the normal metric on $mathcalZ$ we study the harmonic map equation for smooth maps of Riemann surfaces into $mathcalZ$. A characterization of spacelike surfaces with harmonic twistor lifts to $mathcalZ$ is obtained. It is also shown that the harmonic map equation for twistor lifts can be formulated as the curvature vanishing of an $$-loop of connections i.e. harmonic twistor lifts exist within $$-families. Special harmonic maps such as holomorphic twistor lifts are also considered and some remarks concerning (compact) vacua of the twistor energy are given.
