Company Name: Astro Research
Description: Astro Research was established in Japan in 1996. It is the only business in Japan to venture into satellite engineering and development. The company headquartered is located in Kanagawa, Japan.
The company has been classified to be engaged in business that is “space-related.” Astro Research is primarily involved in launch vehicle and spacecraft systems and subsystems and component research and development. It offers training, consultancy and other special services.
Astro Research used to be headed by its company president, Mr. Mitsuteru Sugiki whose specialty included launch services and designing satellites. He had also been engaged in the supervision of the space-related software and component development divisions of Astro Research. It was in 2005 that the company drew the world’s attention by its announcement of a plan to venture into the business of space travel. The said business venture was in collaboration with the former president of Livedoore Corporation, Takafumi Horie.
It was in June of 2006 that Astro Research Corporation introduced the first personal satellite and launch service. The technology is made possible by the MySat Personal Service, a MySat-1 small satellite developed by the company in-house.
The company’s primary objective was the provision of a state-of-the-art technology that services the space industry and space-related business solutions inside and outside of Japan. The company encountered financial problems because of the low demand for the said technology in Japan. It eventually went belly up in January 10 of 2008 because of an accumulation of debts that had amounted to approximately one billion Yen according to the data that had been gathered by Teikoku Databank Limited.
Astro Research, which was then based in the Kanagawa Prefecture in Eastern Japan, filed for bankruptcy in the Tokyo District Court. The petition was approved a couple of months later.
Astro Research had been involved in the manufacture of engines, electronic components, launching equipments and launchers, satellites, microwave subsystems and components, power supplies, pressurization systems, radio communications equipment, printed circuit boards, air traffic and control systems, spacecraft systems and subsystems, computer software and services, avionics systems, satellite communications, and instruments and components.
