Our key technology is nano-satellites that act like digital cameras in space and that cost less than one tenth of current satellites. The nano-satellites take 5m colored resolution data which is the same resolution as some current commercial satellites. In 2012, a nano-satellite developed in Japan will be launched and demonstrated.
The constellation of nano-satellites that we aim to launch commercially will take daily global pictures enabling us to process the data into information useful to customers such as futures traders of crops and oil. By combining the processed data with mobile apps, we will dramatically change the use of satellites and make it more accessible. In ten years, we will create innovative products like “Real-time Google Earth”.
