TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 February 2025 – Tenchijin, Inc. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Yasuhito Sakuraba), a Japanese satellite tech company endorsed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA, has been selected as a data service provider to utilize the PALSAR-3 observation data of Advanced Land Observing Satellite-4 “DAICHI-4”(ALOS-4), which is carried out by Space Technology Directorate I of JAXA. Tenchijin will provide data services to the general public using ALOS-4 observation data until March 2028. Tenchijin Selected as Data Service Provider of Japan Space Agency’s Advanced Land Observing Satellite-4 (ALOS-4) This will be the first online sale¹ of such data in Japan and will enable anyone to easily and immediately purchase the data of their interest in a small area at a low price. The timing of the service will be announced shortly. ¹Users can select data, place orders, and make payments all online. About Advanced Land Observing Satellite-4 “DAICHI-4”(ALOS-4) The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-4 (ALOS-4) is a satellite that observes Earth’s surface using its onboard phased array type L-band synthetic aperture radar (PALSAR-3). The L-band radar technology has continuously been developed in Japan. With further improved observation performance compared to the predecessor PALSAR-2 aboard the DAICHI-2 (ALOS-2), JAXA and its prime contractor, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, are developing the satellite, aiming to achieve both high resolution and a broader observation swath. Unlike observations by an optical sensor, radar images can be acquired day and night, as it does not require sunlight. Moreover, since radio waves can penetrate clouds, the images can be obtained regardless of weather conditions. The ALOS-4 will leverage these merits for observing and monitoring disaster-hit areas, forests, and sea ice. In addition, it will also challenge new areas, such as monitoring infrastructure displacement. Reference: https://global.jaxa.jp/projects/sat/alos4/ About the Public Solicitation for Data Service Provider Using Observation Data of ALOS-4 JAXA aims to provide data and services to the general public, mainly through the private sector, as part of its efforts to expand the ALOS-4 observation data and service business through public-private partnerships. This time, as part of the public solicitation for the selection of the private-sector operator, JAXA requested proposals for a project to provide ALOS-4 data to general users until FY2027. Proposals were requested to include an outline of the project, including a mechanism for general users to access ALOS-4 observation data, a project concept and vision, a schedule and implementation structure, and other information such as the price for providing data services. Reference: https://www.satnavi.jaxa.jp/ja/news/2024/07/30/9597/index.html Tenchijin’s Thoughts on the Space Industry Tenchijin has launched a new initiative to expand the use of satellite data in Japan. Satellite data has the power to solve social issues in a wide range of fields, including agriculture, disaster prevention, urban planning, and energy. However, in Japan, issues such as technical hurdles, cost, and lack of awareness have hindered the spread of data. The goal of Tenchijin is to change this situation and transform satellite data from something special to something familiar. ALOS-4, launched by JAXA in 2024, will play an innovative role in the fields of crustal deformation, disaster prevention, forest management, and agriculture with the world’s highest resolution and observation coverage. For example, in disaster-prone Japan, the ability to observe at night and under bad weather conditions can be utilized to quickly assess damage from heavy rainfall and earthquake disasters. In addition, the system is expected to be used in a variety of ways toward a sustainable society, such as estimating forest carbon stocks and determining crop acreage in the agricultural sector. Tenchijin will make the data provided by ALOS-4 available to as many people as possible. First, Tenchijin will provide an intuitive platform that is easy for anyone to use, enabling data analysis without special knowledge. In addition, Tenchijin will develop a service model with low introduction costs to create an environment in which small and medium-sized companies and local governments can easily utilize the service. Furthermore, Tenchijin will proactively disseminate best practices and work to ensure that the value of satellite data is widely recognized. In addition, Tenchijin will focus on human resource development through training and workshops to broaden the base of professionals who can handle data. Tenchijin will also work with local governments, private companies, and educational institutions to build an ecosystem that can solve social issues from a variety of perspectives. The power of data will change the future. Based on this belief, Tenchijin will do its utmost to realize a sustainable future by maximizing the power of satellite data.

This initiative aims to help lower-income families with children aged six and below – a period critical for physical and cognitive development – adopt healthy eating habits. The programme, a collaboration between KidSTART and leading life and health insurer Prudential as the main sponsor, has grown significantly from supporting 120 families in 2020 to more than 3,100 families in 2024. It provides monthly fresh produce packs including vegetables and fruits, as well as resources on healthy eating from Prudential. This longstanding partnership between KidSTART and Prudential has been a cornerstone in promoting early childhood nutrition and well-being for lower-income families. Prudential has gone beyond providing monthly fresh produce packs to actively engaging in community outreach efforts such as educational workshops, the provision of healthy plates¹ for children, and resource development such as live online cooking shows and recipe cards with tips on how to engage young children in the kitchen during meal preparation. Prudential² and KidSTART volunteers have clocked almost 20,000 volunteering hours since the inception of the programme packing and delivering the fresh produce packs at least three times a year.

This series features interactive cooking workshops by celebrity chefs to equip parents with practical skills and confidence to prepare balanced meals, as well as tips on how to engage their children while cooking. This initiative aligns with Prudential’s goal to ensure lower-income families and children have access to healthy ingredients and the know-how to prepare budget-friendly and nutritious meals, enabling people to live well for longer. At What’s for Lunch? A Farm Adventure, parents and children enjoyed an eventful day of child-related health and nutrition activities. This is the first event of such scale that has been arranged for KidSTART families by Prudential.

Through this initiative, KidSTART and Prudential are not just addressing nutritional needs but also nurturing healthier, happier families for a brighter future. This shared mission reinforces the importance of ensuring every child gets a good start in life to enjoy a vibrant and healthy future. Quotes Ms Sun Xue Ling, Minister of State for Social and Family Development, said: “Today we celebrate the fifth-year anniversary of Healthy with KidSTART. When we first started this, it was still during the COVID-19 pandemic and we had to do everything mostly online. Over the last five years, so many things have happened. KidSTART, with the support of Prudential as the main sponsor, has produced fresh food produce packs and recipe cards, online cooking demonstration series which have helped lighten the load for busy parents and provided families valuable tips on child nutrition and practical meal preparation tips. It’s not just about eating. As you eat together, you will also form strong family bonds in the process.” Ms Chan San San, CEO of Prudential Singapore, said: “We are pleased to celebrate the five-year milestone of the Healthy with KidSTART programme.

We see this as a commitment to support our community’s well-being.” Mr Joel Tan, CEO of KidSTART Singapore, said: “We are grateful for the support and partnership of valuable partners such as Prudential Singapore, who as the main sponsor, have been instrumental, in the growth and success of the Healthy with KidSTART programme, allowing more than 3,100 families to benefit from monthly fresh food produce packs each month.
