NTT DATA has established a new company, Marble Visions, Inc., to provide observation satellite services.
In the space field, where growth is expected to be driven by the private sector, the company will develop an observation satellite system capable of high-frequency and high-precision photography, and build a system that can provide a one-stop service from providing satellite images to supporting users’ decisions. The company will take on the challenge of creating a new digital twin (a technology that represents real space in cyberspace and performs future predictions and simulations) market.
The international space development race is intensifying, and each country is shifting from government-led space development to public-private collaboration.
In this context, the Japanese government established the Space Strategy Fund with the aim of accelerating space activities through industry, government, and academia, and allocated 300 billion yen in the supplementary budget last year.
