Axelspace

Axelspace is a Japanese microsatellite developer and operator based in Tokyo. Its AxelGlobe Earth-observation service supplies repeat imagery and analysis for agriculture, infrastructure and land management, forestry, environmental monitoring and disaster assessment. The platform also supports imaging of objects in space through partnerships. AxelLiner is its separate service for customers developing satellite-based businesses or demonstrating equipment in orbit: it combines mission planning, payload and satellite integration, testing, licensing, launch arrangements and operations. The company distinguishes projects using a customer's own satellite from hosted demonstrations aboard its microsatellite platforms. Axelspace's work therefore spans spacecraft engineering and mission delivery as well as the sale and use of satellite data.
