Star Signal Solutions與法國Look Up公司簽署合作備忘錄 以提升太空態勢感知（SSA）

Star Signal Solutions株式會社（總部：東京都中央區蠣殻町，代表董事：岩城陽大，以下簡稱「Star Signal Solutions」）與法國Look Up公司（總部：法國圖盧茲，CEO：Michel Friedling，以下簡稱「Look Up」）簽署了合作備忘錄（MOU），該公司專門從事太空物體和碎片的雷達觀測，旨在提高太空人造衛星和太空碎片的掌握精度。

此次MOU的簽署配合了法國總統馬克宏於2026年4月1日訪問日本，象徵著日法兩國在太空領域加強合作的舉措之一。

啟動雷達觀測與光學觀測結合的技術驗證

根據此次合作，Star Signal Solutions和Look Up將啟動技術驗證活動，對兩家公司各自擁有的光學觀測數據和雷達觀測數據進行相互比較和分析。

透過結合光學觀測和雷達觀測這兩種不同的觀測方法，驗證利用各自特性和優勢的數據利用可能性，旨在提高日法兩國太空態勢感知（SSA：Space Situational Awareness）能力的互操作性和高階化。

為太空安全、永續性以及安全保障做出貢獻

這項舉措不僅有助於確保太空空間的安全性和永續性，還將為實現近年來日益重要的實用太空交通管理（STM：Space Traffic Management）以及提升太空安全保障能力奠定基礎。

不同國家、不同技術基礎的觀測數據的連携，也有助於國際SSA合作框架，預計將為實現安全、永續的太空利用和太空環境的穩定利用做出貢獻。

經濟產業省宇宙產業課課長 髙濵航先生的評論

「今年1月舉行的第四次日法綜合太空對話中，也討論了關於應對太空碎片的先進措施，以及同盟國和志同道合國家之間合作推動國際規則制定的重要性。經濟產業省也認識到，這次的MOU將進一步加速日法兩國的此類先進措施，並期望透過這些措施促進兩國太空產業的進一步發展。」

Star Signal Solutions株式會社 代表董事 岩城陽大的評論
「Look Up公司是雷達太空監測領域中歐洲的領先企業，擁有高超的觀測能力和技術實力。此次合作旨在將該公司的雷達觀測與我們的光學觀測這兩種不同的技術結合起來，建立全球整合的SSA（太空態勢感知）能力。

我們認為未來的太空交通管理將是多感測器且以國際合作為前提的。透過此次合作，我們將為實現單一感測器無法達到的SSA精度提升，以及具備互操作性和韌性的SSA架構做出貢獻。此外，本公司將透過利用多樣化的觀測數據，致力於提升實用知識，為確保太空安全和永續性做出貢獻。」

Star Signal Solutions Signs MOU with Look Up Space to Advance Space Situational Awareness (SSA)

– Japan–France collaboration launches radar × optical validation toward sustainable space traffic management –

Star Signal Solutions Inc. (Headquarters: Nihonbashi Kakigaracho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akihiro Iwaki; hereinafter “Star Signal Solutions”) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Look Up Space (Headquarters: Toulouse, France; CEO: Michel Friedling; hereinafter “Look Up”), a company specializing in radar-based observation of space objects and debris. The MOU aims to enhance the accuracy of tracking satellites and space debris in orbit.

The signing of this MOU will be announced in conjunction with the visit of President Emmanuel Macron to Japan, scheduled for April 1, 2026, and represents a symbolic initiative to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Japan and France in the space sector.

Launch of Technical Validation Combining Radar and Optical Observations

Under this collaboration, Star Signal Solutions and Look Up will initiate technical validation activities involving the comparative analysis of their respective optical and radar observation data.

By integrating these complementary observation modalities—optical and radar—the partners will evaluate new approaches to data utilization that leverage the strengths of each method. This effort aims to enhance interoperability and advance the capabilities of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) systems in both Japan and France.

Contributing to Space Safety, Sustainability, and Security

This initiative is expected to contribute not only to the safety and sustainability of outer space but also to the realization of practical Space Traffic Management (STM), incorporating increasingly critical security considerations.

The integration of observational data across different national and technological frameworks will support broader international SSA cooperation. It is anticipated to play a key role in enabling safe, sustainable, and stable utilization of the space environment.

Executive Comments

Akihiro Iwaki, CEO, Star Signal Solutions Inc.
“We have great respect for Look Up as a leading European player in radar-based space surveillance. This partnership brings together their radar capabilities and our optical observations to advance a more integrated global SSA framework.

We believe the future of space traffic management will be inherently multi-sensor and international. By combining complementary sensing technologies, we aim to deliver a level of accuracy and resilience that cannot be achieved by any single system.

This partnership represents an important step toward building a globally interoperable SSA architecture. Through this collaboration, we will accelerate the practical use of diverse observational data and contribute to safer and more sustainable space operations.”

Mr. Wataru Takahama,Director, Space Industry Office, METI
“At the 4th Meeting of the Japan–France Comprehensive Dialogue on space held in January this year, there were discussions on advanced initiatives to address space debris, as well as on the importance of promoting international rule-making through cooperation among allies and like-minded countries. From the perspective of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, this Memorandum of Understanding is recognized as an effort that will further accelerate such advanced initiatives between Japan and France.
We expect that these efforts will contribute to the continued growth and development of the space industries of both countries.”
