SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation (hereafter referred to as "the Company") addresses "Development of Regions and Communities" as one of its key sustainability challenges. As part of this, we are engaged in next-generation educational support activities, leveraging our assets to foster future talent.

On Friday, July 25, 2025, we held the "Ginoza Village Antenna Tour" for 5th and 6th graders in Ginoza Village, Okinawa Prefecture. This tour was initiated following the installation of our communication antenna in Ginoza Village. The goal was to give local children exposure to our business, thereby increasing their interest in space and broadening their possibilities for future careers.

On the day of the event, we provided an overview of our business by company employees and conducted a tour of our antennas. During the business overview, we used space-related quizzes and other interactive elements to make the students more interested in space.

 During the antenna tour, staff at our Yokohama Satellite Control Center operated an antenna in real time, allowing participants to see it move in person. Everyone was very surprised by the sheer power of the large antenna moving at high speed.

This antenna began operations on September 1, 2025. It's used for communications with satellites orbiting Earth, including those in geostationary orbit and those involved in lunar exploration missions. It connects with various satellites owned by organizations like JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and acts as a vital relay point for delivering observation data back to Earth. The main antenna dish is 13.5 meters in diameter, and when covered by the protective dome called a "radome," the total height of the antenna reaches approximately 20 meters.

Satellite imagery has a wide range of applications. The two images below, captured by Planet Labs Inc., show Wajima City before and after the Noto Earthquake. Within the red boxes, you can see buildings that have collapsed due to the earthquake. By comparing satellite images, it is possible to assess the damage situation across a wide area at a glance, which can be effectively utilized for recovery and reconstruction efforts.

Furthermore, during the tour, we gave all participating elementary school students a set of "Umi no Crayon" (Ocean Crayons), which our company planned and sells.

The "Crayons of the Sea" are made by reproducing the actual colors of the ocean based on satellite imagery taken from space. They comprise the colors of 12 different oceans around the world, including those from Kasari Bay in Amami Oshima and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

These crayons do not have traditional color names. Instead, they are labeled with the latitude and longitude of the location from which the color was extracted. We hope that by using the Crayons of the Sea, children will experience the richness of the Earth's colors and deepen their interest in space and satellite images.

Participating elementary school students shared their impressions, with comments like, "I didn't have much interest in space before, but the tour sparked my curiosity," and "I was surprised that the antenna moved faster than I thought."

The organizers of the tour, the people from Ginoza Village, also commented that they "would like to hold this kind of event every year going forward."

We hope this on-site tour will be an opportunity for the next generation of children to directly experience our work environment, deepen their interest in space, and broaden their perspective for their future careers.

We will continue to further strengthen our collaboration with local communities.
