Activity Objectives and Goals

We are launching this event as a place to connect space and satellite related businesses and users. As there are many unknown areas, we will start by providing information, so please feel free to join us!

[ Purpose ]
With the growing interest in space utilization, including satellite constellations, there is a need to lead the world by achieving SX (Space Transformation), which will transform the economy and society through activities in space. However, there is a big gap between satellite-related companies and satellite users, and it is difficult to create innovation and transform society if the current situation remains unchanged. It is necessary for both parties to come closer to each other and deepen their understanding. Therefore, this project will examine the world of digital infrastructure and specific use cases in which satellite constellations are implemented in order for both parties to share better goals and work together.

[ Target ]
In FY2024, the goal is to launch this discussion forum and define specific actions for the following years and beyond; in FY2025 and beyond, the current status of satellite-related projects, sharing of operators' knowledge, and sharing of satellite users' expectations and requests.
In addition, since there is a need for integrated discussions on the use of radio waves in space and on the ground in the future, an additional objective is to provide a forum where participants from both sectors can be invited to discuss these topics.

Activities

(1) Study of the digital infrastructure in which satellite constellations are implemented

• A world where satellites are a common part of the digital infrastructure of the future, and an image of how this will be achieved
• A communications infrastructure that does not stop digital infrastructure in the event of an earthquake or other emergency (mission-critical communications)

(2) Study of Satellite Applications on the Ground

• Use case for changes in social conditions, such as bearers of future society and growth potential by country
  (e.g., building financial infrastructure in developing countries, eliminating communication area vacancies, reducing disaster risks ... etc.)
• Potential for renewal and replacement of existing communications infrastructure by satellite
