株式会社ワープスペース
Warpspace is a Japanese space-tech company founded in 2016 that specializes in developing a high-speed optical inter-satellite data relay service called "WarpHub InterSat." This service uses laser communication to enable satellites in low Earth orbit to transmit data to ground stations in near real-time. Warpspace is planning to launch a constellation of relay satellites in medium Earth orbit, with the first launch slated for 2025. Their partners include Sidus Space and JAXA, and they aim to provide faster, more secure, and reliable communication solutions for satellite operators.
