“Projects Overview”

Japan Space Systems

ASTER: Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection radiometer
ASTER was developed as a joint project between the US NASA and the former Ministry of International Trade and Industry (now the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry).
It was launched aboard the Terra satellite in 1999 and started data reception in 2000.
It is still in operation.

HISUI: Hyperspectral Imager SUIte
HISUI was developed as a project of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to further improvethe efficiency of oil and metal resource exploration and was installed on the International Space
Station in 2019. HISUI data has high spectral resolution, and it is possible to precisely identify surface
materials through data processing and analysis.

SSPS: Space Solar Power System
Since 1993, as a project of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, we have been conducting
research and development on space solar power generation systems and their component
technologies to transmit power generated by solar energy in space to the ground using microwave.
SSPS, which is expected to become a sustainable energy source, continues to develop its microwave
wireless power transmission technology.

@JAXA/NASAHistory / Achievements
1981. Established Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Center (ERSDAC)
1986. Established Unmanned Space Experiment Free Flyer (USEF)

CLAS-Based RTK Correction System
CLAS: Centimeter Level Augmentation Service

To enable low-cost RTK receiver terminals to use CLAS, one of the QZSS (MICHIBIKI) services, we havedeveloped and are operating our own CLAS correction information distribution system, whichconverts CLAS augmentation information into correction information for RTK and distributes it via aground line.

1986. Established Japan Resources Observation System Organization (JAROS)
2007. Established the Satellite Positioning Application Promotion Center (SPAC)
2012. Established Japan Space Systems (J-spacesystems) by unifying ERSDAC, USEF and JAROS
2021. Merged SPAC and began activities under a new structure

Providing Total Solutions for Space Systems
International cooperation, human resources development, and industrial promotion
With our experience in developing satellite data utilization technology, we implement environmental
monitoring, climate change measures and natural resource development through technicalcooperation projects.
In addition, we provide training programs on satellite data utilization to engineers in developingcountries. By implementing these activities, we aim to expand space utilization.
