Technologies supporting satellites

How can satellites far from Earth complete their missions? How do we operate satellites that can’t be repaired for years? Below are the technologies that support these satellites.

What is the 'satellite bus,' the core component of a satellite? Making satellites cheaper and faster to build with a standardized satellite bus

Satellite bus technology

How do you monitor and control the health of satellites carrying out missions in space?

Satellite control systems

How do we determine the location of satellites from here on earth? And what kinds of technologies are used to receive satellite data and send commands to satellites?

Ground station network for tracking satellites

Michibiki, a Quasi-Zenith Satellite System, provides highly accurate location information down to the centimeter. We intoroduce how do satellites obtain location Information.

Global Navigation Satellite System

For a rocket to stay on its intended course, its status must be monitored and its trajectory must be controlled. The NEC Group develops and manufactures a broad range of onboard equipment for rockets.

Onboard Equipment for Launch Vehicles

Orbital control technology is essential for maintaining the orbits of satellites in orbit and for probes to reach their destinations and complete their missions.

Satellite orbit control

Satellites operate in an environment where they can be subjected to temperature differences of up to several hundred degrees between parts exposed to sunlight and those not. This article explains how thermal design enables satellites to function in space by controlling temperature appropriately.

Synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is a sensor that receives microwaves to take pictures of the earth's surface. Its unique feature is that it can observe even in bad weather or at night.
