SKY Perfect JSAT and KSAT to jointly provide ground station services to JAXA

　By entering into a long-term agreement, SKY Perfect JSAT and KSAT will establish new earth stations globally to provide Near-Earth Tracking and Control Services to JAXA and other Japanese governmental organization.

SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation, Asia’s largest satellite operator, and Kongsberg Satellite Services AS, KSAT, the world-leading ground network operator and service provider, have made an Agreement for providing Near-Earth Tracking and Control Services.
In March 2023, SKY Perfect JSAT was selected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA, as a service provider of the Near-Earth Tracking and Control Network.
By collaboration between SKY Perfect JSAT and KSAT, we will establish new ground stations globally to provide Near-Earth Tracking and Control Services to JAXA and other Japanese governmental organizations.

- In the coming future, SKY Perfect JSAT is planning to globally expand its near-earth tracking and control services not only to satellite operators who use GEO but other orbits such as MEO and LEO. Therefore, SKY Perfect JSAT hopes to become a “global” and “multi-orbit” ground network service provider by integrating with KSAT’s existing global ground network.
