On July 14, 2021, an event " Innovation Spotlight Event " to promote mutual cooperation between Japan and the Netherlands was held as part of the "TeamNLTokyo Expo", and our CEO, Lena Okajima, from the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Japan participated in the event.
At the event, Lena introduced ALE's business and the partnership between ALE and Dawn Aerospace in the Netherlands.

ALE's third man-made shooting star satellite (ALE-3) will be equipped with thrusters developed from Dawn Aerospace. Thrusters are used for orbital transfer from the initial orbit and attitude control, and are very important components of ALE’s mission.

Dawn has been providing its green in-space propulsion units to customers globally since 2019. The units utilize a green-propellant combination of common and safe nitrous oxide and propylene.

Space development is necessary to live sustainably on Earth. With the help of Dawn Aerospace's prominent equipment and technology, ALE will continue to thrive for a sustainable use and development of space.
