Tellus Inc. Participates in "Vietnam-Japan Space Horizons 2026 Forum" in Vietnam and Exhibits Booth
Tellus Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hideto Yamazaki; hereinafter: "Our Company") participated in the "Vietnam-Japan Space Horizons 2026 Forum" held at the Vietnam Space Center in Hoa Lac, Vietnam, from March 12 to 15, 2026, and held a booth exhibition.
Furthermore, on March 11, 2026, we conducted a hands-on session introducing the use of satellite data utilizing the satellite data platform "Tellus" for Vietnamese space agency staff and university students studying space-related fields. This initiative was implemented as part of the JAXA Space Strategy Fund project, under the commissioned work titled "Development and demonstration of overseas satellite data utilization systems" undertaken by the Japan Space Forum (JSF).
◆ About the Booth Exhibition
The Vietnam-Japan Space Horizons 2026 Forum was held in conjunction with the opening ceremony of the Hoa Lac Space Center, with the aim of further strengthening space technology cooperation between Japanese and Vietnamese space agencies. Our company exhibited at this event to introduce our efforts in aggregating various satellite data and providing an environment that makes satellite data easier to utilize, thereby fulfilling our role as a satellite data platform in Asia, including Japan and Vietnam. We received positive interest from visitors regarding the utilization of satellite data in Vietnam, indicating expectations for future expansion of its use.
Additionally, Vietnam's Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính visited our booth and viewed the GOSAT visualizer. His strong interest in observing climate change using satellite data and the potential for satellite data collaboration between Japan and Vietnam was evident.
◆ About the Hands-on Session
On March 11, 2026, the day before the forum, we, along with Yamaguchi University, conducted a hands-on session for approximately 15 Vietnamese space agency staff and university students studying space-related fields, focusing on analyzing satellite data using Tellus. During the hands-on session, participants learned basic satellite data knowledge and simple analysis methods by actually displaying satellite data available on Tellus using "QGIS," an open-source software for geographic information analysis.
Many participants had prior experience utilizing tools like QGIS in research institutions and expressed high interest in the "Tellus" satellite data platform, which allows for consistent operations from data acquisition to analysis on the cloud without downloading data to a local environment.
