Japan’s Space and Satellite Industry: A Comprehensive 2025 Market Report

Japan’s Space and Satellite Industry: A Comprehensive 2025 Market Report

Key Facts Historical Development of Japan’s Space Program Japan’s journey in space began in the 1950s and has grown from university research rockets to a major national endeavor. In 1955, Professor Hideo Itokawa’s team launched the first pencil rocket as a rudimentary experiment en.wikipedia.org. By the 1960s, Japan developed larger sounding rockets (the Kappa and Lambda series) leading up to its first satellite launch. In February 1970, Japan successfully launched the Ohsumi satellite on a Lambda-4S rocket, making Japan the world’s fourth spacefaring nation to launch an indigenous satellite into orbit (after the USSR, USA, and France) u-tokyo.ac.jp.

Blockchain Boom: 11 Shocking Crypto Developments (Sept 3–4, 2025)

Blockchain Boom: 11 Shocking Crypto Developments (Sept 3–4, 2025)

Key Facts Market and DeFi Trends Early September saw unexpected resilience in crypto markets. Bitcoin held steady just under its recent highs (≈$110K–$112K), and Ethereum briefly broke above $4,400 before retracing xt.com. Despite September’s reputation for sluggish performance, the market had pockets of strength. Analytics showed DeFi tokens up ~2.7% on average and even meme coins +2.4% xt.com. Niche altcoins outperformed: for example, MemeCore spiked +35%, and exchange platform tokens like OKX’s OKB jumped 8.5% xt.com. Traders noted this rotation into higher-risk tokens as a sign that investor sentiment, while cautious, is “turning opportunistic at the margins” – capital is

Tech Turbulence: Big Antitrust Wins, Spy Satellites & Cyber Scares – Sept 2–3, 2025 Roundup

Tech Turbulence: Big Antitrust Wins, Spy Satellites & Cyber Scares – Sept 2–3, 2025 Roundup

Key Facts Summary Hardware & Devices (Chips, EVs & Gadgets) US-China Tech Tensions: In a blow to Beijing’s chip ambitions, the U.S. Commerce Department revoked the “validated end-user” fast-track export status that had allowed Taiwan’s TSMC (and previously Samsung and SK Hynix) to import advanced American chipmaking tools into China without a license reuters.com. The privilege will end on Dec. 31, meaning TSMC’s Nanjing fab will need case-by-case export licenses for U.S. equipment thereafter reuters.com. The fab produces 16 nm “mature node” semiconductors – not cutting-edge chips – contributing only ~2.4% of TSMC’s revenue reuters.com. TSMC said it’s “evaluating the situation”

The Nasdaq Composite notched its 18th record closing high of 2025. OpenAI released GPT-5 on August 7, billed as the “smartest, fastest, most useful” model, now available to 700 million ChatGPT users, with a target of a $500 billion valuation in secondary-share sales. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle Bowman signaled three rate cuts likely by year-end, with easing possibly starting in September. The White House issued an executive order to expand 401(k) access to alternative assets like crypto and private equity, amid concerns about liquidity and higher fees on an estimated $10 trillion in 401(k) assets.

Battle of the EV Charging Standards: Tesla’s NACS vs. CCS2 vs. CHAdeMO – Who Will Rule the Roads in 2025?

Battle of the EV Charging Standards: Tesla’s NACS vs. CCS2 vs. CHAdeMO – Who Will Rule the Roads in 2025?

Tesla introduced its own charging connector with the Model S in 2012 and opened it as NACS in late 2022. Tesla’s V3 Superchargers deliver up to 250 kW (about 1000 V, 250 A) to compatible vehicles, enabling about 80% charge in roughly 20 minutes under ideal conditions. Ford announced NACS ports for 2025 models in May 2023, followed by GM in June 2023, with Volvo, Polestar, Mercedes‑Benz, Nissan, Honda, Rivian, Lucid, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, and VW Group joining by late 2023. The SAE officially standardized NACS as SAE J3400 in 2023, and the U.S. government endorsed NACS as a national

Beyond Lithium-Ion: Sodium-Ion vs. Solid-State vs. Lithium-Sulfur – Who Wins the Next Battery Race?

Beyond Lithium-Ion: Sodium-Ion vs. Solid-State vs. Lithium-Sulfur – Who Wins the Next Battery Race?

CATL unveiled the world’s first mass-produced sodium-ion EV battery, named Naxtra, in 2023 and began deploying it in cars by late 2023. Sodium-ion cells typically deliver 140–160 Wh/kg, with CATL’s best prototypes around 175 Wh/kg and a second-generation cell expected to exceed 200 Wh/kg. All-solid-state lithium batteries are projected to store 50% to 100% more energy than today’s Li-ion, with Toyota claiming a 20% initial range boost for its solid-state packs due in 2027–28. Solid-state designs could enable 600–1000+ miles per charge, according to industry projections and Toyota’s statements. Lithium-sulfur cells have a theoretical energy density of 600–800 Wh/kg, Fraunhofer’s

EV Battery Economics 2025: Cost-Parity Milestones and Chemistry Breakthroughs

EV Battery Economics 2025: Cost-Parity Milestones and Chemistry Breakthroughs

Global EV battery pack prices fell about 20% in 2024, dropping from roughly $149/kWh in 2023 to the low $100s by year-end. In 2024, LFP cell prices were just under $60/kWh, and some Chinese LFP packs were produced for well under $90/kWh, enabling price parity with ICE for certain models. In 2024, a NMC811 pack cost about $103/kWh in China and above $100/kWh in other regions, showing higher costs for nickel-based chemistries. As of 2025, mass-market solid-state batteries are not yet in production, with Toyota planning limited production in 2025 for hybrids and MG launching a semi-solid-state pack delivering 1,000+

Beyond Lithium-Ion: How Solid-State, Lithium-Sulfur, Sodium-Ion & Graphene Batteries Will Revolutionize EVs, Gadgets and Grid Storage

Beyond Lithium-Ion: How Solid-State, Lithium-Sulfur, Sodium-Ion & Graphene Batteries Will Revolutionize EVs, Gadgets and Grid Storage

Solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte and lithium-metal anodes, offering 50–100% higher energy density than today’s Li‑ion and 1,000+ cycles with about 95% capacity retention, with Toyota targeting 750 miles per charge and 10-minute charging by 2027–2028. Lithium-sulfur batteries have a theoretical energy density above 500 Wh/kg, and a recent all-solid-state Li‑S cell demonstrated around 25,000 cycles with 80% capacity retention, though energy density still needs improvement. Sodium-ion batteries today run around 160–175 Wh/kg, CATL claims 175 Wh/kg with over 10,000 cycles and operation from −40°C to +70°C, and Chery launched the first Na‑ion EV in 2023 with mass production
