The Japanese companies are the second-largest customers of Rocket Lab's Electron service after those in the US.

It reflects that the Japanese LEO satellite companies require dedicated launches to build their constellation in mid-inclination LEO by leveraging the government support.

In #IAC2025, many Japanese companies show their technologies and products.

My favorite is this, a test model of a sample return capsule for the mission of MMX, JAXA's next deep space project to the moon's of #Mars.

A Japanese company is developing the Inflatable heat shield technology backed by the governmental fund.

That technology would be a game changer for reentry to both the Earth and Mars.

Japanese Cabinet Office has developed 'the Space Skill Standard' to tackle the shortage of workforce in the space industry.

It defines skill sets for each role in the industry in order to make people, such as students or job seekers, know what kind of skill sets are required.

Now satellite internet connection get crucial enough to be used for extortion.

I think now is the time to consider Japan build their own LEO communication satellite constellation.

It's interesting that European countries strongly support commercia companies in contrast to ESA supporting equally.
