Pioneeringmicrosatellitetechnologies2013

Succeessful Launch of WNISAT-1 - Weathernews Inc.
The world's first commercial nano-satellite. It observes the distribution of ice
in the Arctic Ocean and provides safety information to ships passing through.

2014

Successful Launch of Hodoyoshi-1 -the University of Tokyo
50kg class microsatellite providing 6.7m resolution optical images. Demonstration
for business application with three domestic companies.

2017

Successful Launch of WNISAT-1R - Weathernews Inc.
Observations using GNSS radio waves and basic experiments of opticalcommunication, in addition to the missions of the previous satellite.

Succeeded in development andoperations of 10 microsatellites
since its establishment

Establishment of Axelspace Corporation2018

Succeessful Launch of GRUS-1A - Axelspace/AxelGlobe
The first earth observation satellite for AxelGlobe. Equipped with twotelescopes, it has a wide observation range of 55 km with a resolution of 2.5 m.

2019

Successful Launch of RAPIS-1 - JAXA
The first government satellite that JAXA ordered for its development andoperation to a startup. Demonstration of new components in orbit.

2021

Successful Launch of GRUS-1B,C,D,E - Axelspace/AxelGlobe
The second launch for AxelGlobe. The four satellites were developed
simultaneously, which was the first mass production case in Japan.

2024

Successful Launch of PYXIS - Axelspace/AxelLiner
The first technology demonstration for AxelLiner.
