One-Stop Solution for Japanese and International Satellite Transport and Regulatory Coordination

 

Why Space BD?

Container Selection & Procurement

Provision of transport containers with a proven track record of approval from relevant authorities, such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). Selecting the ideal container based on satellite specifications and transport conditions minimizes the burden of technical coordination.

Trading Capabilities as Exporter of Record

Leveraging established commercial functions to act as the exporter. This simplifies procedures and mitigates risks compared to cases where developers serve as the exporter themselves.

Expedited Export via General Bulk Licenses

Holding General Bulk Export Licenses enables faster and more efficient operations under a management system compliant with Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) guidelines.

Extensive Track Record in Dangerous Goods Approvals (IATA DGR)

Ample experience in securing special approvals from multiple global authorities for satellites containing lithium-ion batteries, ensuring compliance even for battery packs requiring formal DGR approval.

Coordination Integrated with Launch & Site Logistics

Strategic planning that accounts for launch schedules and site logistics. Seamless integration with launch services ensures the entire process is managed as a unified project, from factory to orbit.
