According to Xinhua News Agency quoting Japan's “Sankei Shimbun,” the Japanese government is starting to build a “Japanese version of the Starlink” system from the perspective of safety and security. The report said that the Japanese government has decided on support measures aimed at promoting communication services using low-orbit satellite constellations to achieve domestic autonomous control. A low-orbit satellite constellation refers to a communication network with tens to thousands of small satellites operating in an orbit 200 to 2,000 km from the surface of the Earth, which can support voice calls and data communication with mobile phones and other devices.
