The program aims to accelerate progress toward three primary goals: expanding the space market, solving global and social issues, and pioneering the next frontier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The selected theme, \u201cTechnology to Realize Flexible Spatial Mobility,\u201d focuses on integrating the development and demonstration of orbital transfer vehicles with core on-orbit refueling technologies. It also encompasses R&amp;D for space logistics to enable the integrated operation of the services. This initiative seeks to establish world-leading capabilities by driving interoperability across space systems and the standardisation of interfaces. Through these efforts, Japan aims to secure a significant share of the global on-orbit services market \u2014 expected to approach JPY 1 trillion by 2030 \u2014 while strengthening long-term competitiveness in future space development beyond geostationary orbit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astroscale Japan, the market leader in satellite servicing and long-term orbital sustainability across all orbits, has been selected as an implementing organisation for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency\u2019s Space Strategy Fund Program.
