At the Japan-EU summit, which will be held in Tokyo on July 23, the parties want to agree to work together on the use of satellites for space exploration.
This writes Nikkei Asia with reference to the draft decree, which is planned to be approved at the summit.
According to the draft, a network of satellites will be created by launching and joint operation of small satellites.
Such a network is usually called a satellite constellation, the publication writes.
Such systems allow for frequent and highly accurate observations, which is difficult for a single large satellite.
Groupings of communications satellites allow for near real-time interoperability.
The article says that in this way the EU and Japan plan to reduce dependence in satellite communications on the US in general and SpaceX in particular.
Japan and the EU cite the availability of a satellite network as critical to transformation, with the US leading the way.
In addition, the EU and Japan plan to deepen defense cooperation.
They plan to do this by strengthening supply chains and working together to develop new technologies.
