About SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings Inc.
On April 2, 2007, we established a holding company (currently SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings Inc.) through a merger of the private satellite communication company JSAT Corporation and SKY Perfect Communications Inc., which operated the SKY PerfecTV! Multichannel Pay-TV platform. The two companies then became subsidiaries of this holding company. Subsequently, in March 2008, another private satellite communications company, Space Communications Corporation, was incorporated as a subsidiary of SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings Inc., and in October that year, the three firms merged to form the operating company SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation. For more information about our establishment, please see the "Group History" page.
Please see the "Corporate Information" page.
The company listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on April 2, 2007. On April 4, 2022, the company shifted to the Prime Market following the review of market divisions on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
All shareholders listed in the final shareholder registry on the day before the share transfer in 2007 were issued four shares in SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings Inc. for every one share in JSAT, and one share in SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings Inc. for every one share in SKY Perfect Communications.
About the Space Business
SKY Perfect JSAT is the only private satellite communications operator in Japan and the largest operator in Asia. Using communication satellites that orbit 36,000 kilometers above the equator, we have developed our business on a regional scale, with our satellites covering Japan, Asia, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean region, as well as North America. Through this satellite infrastructure, we broadcast programs on our SKY PerfecTV! platform, provide internet connections for airplanes, and supply relay circuits for terrestrial television stations. We also play a vital role in safety and security by providing disaster-response and crisis management communications infrastructure to government agencies and municipalities throughout Japan, and to numerous companies that support lifelines such as electricity, gas, and oil. Furthermore, we are expanding into the Space Intelligence Business by utilizing data, such as images and positional information, obtained from earth observation satellites. For more details, please see the "Space Business" page.
For details, please see the "Services" page of the Space Business Service Site.
For details, please see the "Satellite Fleet" page of the Space Business Service Site.
Although our orbiting communication satellites cannot be recovered or repaired, they are fitted with backup functions that enable us to continue providing the communication services even if some equipment fails by switching over to these backup functions. In addition, to prepare for scenarios in which a communication satellite can no longer be used, we maintain a number of backup satellites that can be used to provide services in place of the broken satellite. Our operational communication satellites are also insured.
The average design life of a communication satellite is about 10 to 15 years. Since artificial satellites are affected by the gravity of the earth and moon, it is necessary to adjust the orbit location and control the satellite's attitude using fuel mounted on the satellite. The time it takes to use up this fuel determines the lifespan of the artificial satellite.
