Tenchijin, a JAXA-certified space venture based in Tokyo, announced the launch of "Tenchijin EO Market" on June 18, 2026. The online platform lets users select, order, and pay for observation data from the Daichi-4 (ALOS-4) satellite entirely online. The company was selected by JAXA in January 2025 as a data service provider for the satellite's PALSAR-3 radar sensor.
The platform offers two purchase plans. The PALSAR-3 Standard Product provides JAXA-supplied data at 39,800 yen per scene, including map-projected and orthorectified images and SLC data for interferometric SAR. The PALSAR-3 5m Mosaic plan offers orthorectified 5m resolution data starting at 4,000 yen per 10km square, with immediate download after payment for parts of Japan. Both plans accept credit card payments.
