Japan pursues space autonomy amid intensifying global competition
Original: INTERVIEW – Japan bets on space autonomy as global competition accelerates: Country’s space chief
Japan's space chief says the country is prioritising autonomous space capabilities as global competition in the sector accelerates. In an interview, he framed the strategy as essential for Japan to secure independent access to space and protect its interests while major powers ramp up their own space programmes and commercial activity expands worldwide.
Why now: Renewed international rivalry in space and national security concerns are putting space policy back in the spotlight.
