Astroscale Secures Second-Year REFLEX-J Contract for Satellite Refueling R&D

Astroscale Holdings Inc. ( (JP:186A) ) has provided an announcement.

Astroscale Holdings said its Japanese subsidiary, Astroscale Japan Inc., has signed the second-year contract for the REFLEX-J project, a government-backed research and development program for satellite refueling technology under the Japan Science and Technology Agency. The REFLEX-J initiative aims to establish Japanese chemical refueling technology applicable across multiple orbits and international markets, with the latest contract worth ¥3.06 billion as part of a total ¥10.8 billion budget over up to five years.

The new contract, running from April 2026 through March 2027, supports Astroscale’s Life Extension and Refueling Services (LEX), reinforcing its strategy to provide in-orbit life extension solutions. The project has already been factored into the company’s consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending April 2026, indicating that the updated contract will not alter current guidance but strengthens Astroscale’s role in advancing commercial satellite refueling capabilities in Japan.
