TOKYO — The rise of Asia’s biggest satellite companies Sky Perfect JSAT, Elon Musk’s Rocket and Satellite Internet Giant Spacex, the second president, is not a headwind, the president said Thursday.
Japanese companies are likely to see a deeper relationship with SpaceX, President Yonekura announces $230 million investment in Planet Lab’s low-Earth Orbital Observation Satellite Pelican to expand its satellite imaging business He said he did.
“The rapid advancement in SpaceX is by no means a negative factor for our growth,” Yonekura said in a revenue briefing, citing a high reliance on SpaceX Rockets to bring satellites into space.
Musk’s intimacy with Trump has influenced US policies in ways that could benefit SpaceX, including focusing on Mars’ missions. Sources told Reuters that the Trump administration is likely to x National Space Council after the SpaceX lobbying.
“We are probably the biggest SpaceX customer in Asia…and the planet Pelican will essentially launch Falcon 9, including the launch of Japanese radar satellite startup IQPS, which JSAT owns minority shareholders. I’ll use it,” says Yonekura.
JSAT operates the largest number of 17 global communication satellites in Asia, and will challenge low orbit observation projects by building 10 planetary Pelican constellations in 2027.
The company aims to sell 23 billion yen from its satellite data business in 2030, almost six times the current level, mainly from national security customers.
SpaceX reduced the cost of launching rockets by developing a reusable Falcon 9 booster.
Even if JSAT loses access to the SpaceX booster, it will still work with long-time European partners, Arianespace or Mitsubishi Heavy Machinery in Japan.
