PYXISPYXIS is the ��th microsatellite that Axelspace developed since its
establishment and is the demonstration satellite of AxeLliner,
a new service announced in April ����.
Named after the Pyxis constellation, which symbolizes the compass used innavigation, PYXIS hopes to serve as a guide for future companies to start
their businesses with satellites.

Traditional satellite development, reliant on single-piece production,entails prolonged delivery times and signiﬁcant expenses.

PYXIS will showcase AxelLiner’ s newly developed versatile satellite bus
system and will be used as a blueprint for future development, aiming toextend the system’ s applicability to future satellites.
AxelLiner aims to shorten the traditional satellite development cycle fromthree years to one through the standardization of fundamental components
of satellites and the establishment of the mass production system.
This approach facilitates concurrent development of multiple satellites,
rendering microsatellites more cost-eﬀective. As a result, users will
experience a signiﬁcant reduction in challenges associated with satellite
utilization, meeting the escalating demand for microsatellites promptly
and eﬃciently.
Additionally, AxelLiner intends to innovate user experience by oﬀering acomprehensive, one-stop delivery solution. This entails streamlining theintricate and extensive satellite project processes—from conducting
feasibility veriﬁcation as a business to manufacturing, launch and in-orbit
operations of satellites as well as their disposal after missions.

Sony Group Corporation

Axelspace proactively takes actions to tackle environmental issues in space.
Axelspace has established its own rules for sustainability that encompass
the entire satellite lifecycle, from development to in-orbit operation anddisposal, together with members of the Spacecraft Manufacturing Alliance.
・Sustainability for Earth: Sustainability of the global environment in thesatellite designing and manufacturing processes
・Sustainability for Space: Sustainability of the in-orbit environment,
including measures against space debris

D-SAIL

D-SAIL shortens the time required for a satellite to leave orbit and enter theatmosphere after termination of its in-orbit operation.
When activated, it deploys a large membrane, creating drag resistance in
Mass : ���kg
Low Earth Orbit’ s thin atmosphere that acts as a brake to the satellite'sOrbit : Sun-Synchronous Orbit, ���~��� km orbital motion.
This will lower the satellite's orbital altitude and shorten the time until theAltitudesatellite enters the atmosphere after the termination of satellite operations.
