2022. This service specializes in in-orbit demonstration of space
components with sales set to begin in the near future.
Additionally, a new memorandum was signed between Axelspace and
ASPINA Shinano Kenshi Co., Ltd., a partner in developing a reaction
wheel for microsatellites since 2020. The companies have agreed to

Meeting the growing need for in-orbit demonstration
Introducing AxelLiner in 2022, Axelspace has been preparing for
its full-scale service launch. This preparation included developing
a versatile bus system for microsatellites, forming the Spacecraft
Manufacturing Alliance for mass production, and building AxelLiner
Terminal, a software system offering innovative customer
experiences.
Since its business launch, there have been high expectations for
this one-stop microsatellite service that enables customers to
actualize their unique space missions in a shorter period of time,
reaffirming the strong need for this business. Furthermore, through
communications with various space industry players, strong interest
has been received from companies that develop space components and
mission equipment as well. To further expand this customer base,
Axelspace began research into creating a new service for AxelLiner
that specializes in in-orbit demonstrations.
The Japanese government plans to create the Space Strategic Fund
this year, aiming to offer 1 trillion yen worth of support in the
coming decade. One of the themes the fund intends to implement is
the establishment of a satellite supply chain through development
and demonstration of satellite parts and components. Consequently,
the demand for early-phase in-orbit demonstration services is
expected to increase in the future. To overcome these existing
challenges involved in in-orbit demonstrations, Axelspace has
developed a service tailored to such special needs by leveraging
the short development time and mass-production capabilities
realized by AxelLiner.
AL Lab can be used not only to test components and mission
equipment in space, but also for purposes of entertainment, or
corporate or product promotions. The original service concept will
be redefined as “AxelLiner Professional (AL Pro),” with
preparations continuing for its full-scale launch.
