Astroscale Holdings said its Japanese subsidiary has received a confirmed grant allocation of ¥1.25 billion from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Space Strategy Fund for a two-year phase of a four-year technology development project. The funding will support work on electric propellant refueling technology for geostationary orbit services, under a broader theme of enabling flexible spatial mobility in space operations.

The total potential subsidy for the project remains capped at ¥1.5 billion over four years, with the newly determined amount covering the period through an interim review running from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2028.
