Earth observation satellites are constantly transmitting data as they circle orbits. They read the topography, movement of the oceans and atmosphere, and distribution of life to project analyzed images to ground monitors. The satellites are indispensable for tracking the Earth’s environment, uncovering metrological phenomena and predicting disasters.
JAXA will expand our satellite utilization to make our lives more convenient and comfortable.
We will also promote the establishment of a space infrastructure that enables us to provide information and interactive communications in new fields, including disaster monitoring, medical/welfare services, education and traffic systems, through the development of satellites with high speed/capacity communication functions.
