en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 21, 2026, Japanese startup BULL Corporation and Fujitsu Limited announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to jointly explore the development of high-precision Space Situational Awareness (SSA) services. This collaboration aims to monitor space debris in Earth's orbit, support safe and sustainable space activities, and promote the implementation of Space Traffic Management (STM).

With the reduction in satellite costs and the expansion of satellite constellations, the orbital environment is becoming increasingly congested, heightening the risk of space debris collisions. Consequently, establishing a precise SSA system has become an urgent priority. BULL specializes in developing a post-mission disposal device called "HORN" to prevent rockets and satellites from becoming space debris while also acquiring orbital data. Fujitsu has long been committed to researching space data processing platforms and high-precision orbital analysis technologies.

The two companies will collaborate to explore SSA services and business models for the private sector, covering the entire process from satellite orbital data acquisition to operational support. BULL will use data from HORN to build high-precision orbital analysis models, while Fujitsu will develop compatible orbital and rendezvous analysis platforms. This initiative aims to facilitate effective space traffic management and ensure the safety and sustainability of space activities.

Headquartered in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, BULL aims to promote space sustainability and contribute to the space sector through device development and microgravity experiments. Fujitsu, as a digital transformation partner, focuses on technologies such as artificial intelligence and computing, and is dedicated to solving global challenges through innovation. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Fujitsu's consolidated revenue reached 3.6 trillion yen.
