The brief

What kind of thing can you imagine as a space business? Transport means such as rockets or satellites? Information related to daily life such as weather forecasting, remote sensing, satellite positioning system, satellite broadcasting, telecommunications?
At present, it is said that the production of rockets and satellites accounts for about 6% of the entire space industry, and most of them are satellite services and related ground equipment.
Up to now, it has been used for positioning based on the positioning signals of GPS satellites in the United States. Currently, in Japan, four quasi-zenith satellites “MICHIBIKI” have been in full operation since November 2018. With the development of “Michibiki”, a Japanese satellite positioning system (a system that calculates position information using radio waves from satellites), centimeter-class positioning can be realized. In the future, there is a strong focus on the further possibility of using information (G space information) consisting of location information and data linked to it for the future system of 7 units.
The space business is “using the space to deliver value to the world” and has unlimited possibilities depending on technological progress and ideas. Would you like to explore the possibilities of space business with us?

The background

The Ikeuchi Group*1 always aims to provide the best and the best to more people and contribute to the lives of more people. Hokkaido is filled with a unique climate, rich nature, and a wealth of creative energy. While continuing to have enthusiasm and a sense of mission, we will communicate and develop a civilized lifestyle culture*2, and we will try to maximize the appeal of Hokkaido.

The problem

One thing that comes to mind when asked about space business is “utilization of satellite data”such as GPS and “Michibiki” mentioned above, but various other initiatives are also underway.
For example, a security camera that is indispensable for security management in buildings is developed from satellite development technology, and deodorant shirts and underwear are made from technology developed for astronauts who spend in a closed environment.
In this way, the technology cultivated in space development technology is applied to products and services in other fields.
In addition, technology that was invented in fields other than space development, such as the development of a lunar car by Toyota, a car manufacturer, is occurring in the space field. But is this the only value of using space? Is the value of using the universe maximized?
Currently, there are concerns about various global social issues such as energy issues, population issues, and environmental issues. What is the “value of using the universe” necessary to create a better world? Let's think together about space business that can make people all over the world happy in the future 20 years later, without being bound by existing concepts and modern technological standards.
