00:04JAPAN é uma das nacionais mais avançadas no mundo.
00:08Hoje em Tóquio, nós vamos encontrar dois jogadores da área da área.
00:17Space não é só sobre explorar mais.
00:20Com tantos de satélites lançando cada ano,
00:23a Terra está se tornando muito grande,
00:26e mantendo-se seguro é agora um dos maiores desafios.
00:29After decades of launches,
00:31thousands of broken satellites and rocket fragments
00:34stay in orbit.
00:36Even a small piece of debris can cause catastrophic damage.
00:40AstroScale's Japan branch develops technologies
00:43to prevent dangerous space debris collisions,
00:46and Executive Vice President Miki Ito
00:48leads its missions to keep Earth's orbit safe.
00:51Debris, what we call debris on the planet,
00:54the space is so-called debris.
00:55Our space is total debris,
01:19it could become unusable.
01:21Putting essential services like GPS, broadband and banking at risk, Astroscale's last mission,
01:28ADRAS-J, is a world-fast commercial attempt to approach and inspect a large piece of debris,
01:34opening the way for safe removal.
02:04ADRAS-J is developed in partnership with Japan's space agency JAXA through the CRD2 program,
02:12which aims to turn debris removal technology into real-world commercial services.
02:17ADRAS-J is a project for a large-scale space debris.
02:26ADRAS-J is the leader of a large-scale space debris in a large-scale space debris.
02:35ADRAS-J is a project to prevent the development of building technology to protect the debris from the first to
02:38the first to the first.
02:41E aí, em que eu estou fazendo o que eu estou fazendo.
02:45After completing its first inspection phase,
02:48ADRESS J mission now moves to phase 2,
02:51de-orbiting the large debris from its original orbital altitude,
02:55a rare example of public and private sectors
02:58working together to make space more sustainable.
03:01Japan's role in space technology goes beyond debris removal.
03:05One company is transforming the way satellites stay connected to Earth.
03:09Let's find out more.
03:11Naomi Korohara's Tokyo startup Infrastella
03:14tackles another growing challenge, communication.
03:17With more satellites launching every year,
03:20there simply aren't enough ground antennas to keep them connected.
03:24Her company is rethinking how this infrastructure works.
03:28There is owner of ground station,
03:31and then the owner directly leads or let satellite operators
03:37to use their facilities.
03:40However, our uniqueness is that we are platformers.
03:44So we provide a software platform
03:48to connect various ground stations.
03:51Faster links means satellites can send more images more often,
03:56crucial for climate monitoring and disaster response.
03:59By sharing existing antennas instead of building new ones,
04:02the system also lowers costs and opens space operations
04:06to smaller companies and research teams.
04:09Our platform makes it easy to start space business.
04:14And then if we can get more space businesses,
04:19we may have more great and game-changing space business in the future.
04:26So in that sense, I think we are democratizing the space industry
04:32to get more players.
04:34Korohara's ambition is to lower the barriers to space,
04:37helping new companies grow
04:38and shaping the next generation of the space economy.
04:43Japan is protecting critical orbital infrastructure,
04:47clearing debris and boosting communications,
04:50innovations which are shaping global space
04:52and solving real-world challenges.
