Axelspace founders believe the era of practical use of microsatellite is coming beyond educational use, and Axelspace was born in 2008.
Since the launch of Weathernews' WNISAT-1 satellite in 2013, nine satellites have been launched and operated by March 2021 in total. Not only that, we launched the AxelGlobe business in 2015, and we are also engaged in a service business using satellite images.
