Axelspace Corporation, a developer and operator of microsatellites, announced that the seven GRUS-3 next-generation Earth observation microsatellites were successfully launched and that the first radio signals were successfully received.<\/p>\n

GRUS-3 was integrated via Exolaunch and launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA, on July 7, 2026, at 07:12 (UTC) during the Transporter-17 rideshare mission. The satellites were successfully put into their intended orbit. Axelspace received the first radio signals from all seven satellites in orbit. The satellites are currently operating normally.<\/p>\n

Axelspace had been working toward completing the critical operation of the GRUS-3 microsatellite to ensure proper functioning in orbit, in preparation for future services based on Earth observation data acquired by it.<\/p>\n

The development of a versatile satellite bus system for GRUS-3 is based on results obtained through the following projects subsidized by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization): \u201cDevelopment and Demonstration of General-Purpose CubeSat and Microsatellite Buses\u201d (FY2023-2026) *This project was supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (FY2021-2022)<\/p>\n
