TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#GRUS3<\/a>--Axelspace Corporation (\u201cAxelspace\u201d), a leading developer and operator of microsatellites dedicated to realizing its vision of \u201cSpace within Your Reach,\u201d announced that the seven GRUS-3 next-generation Earth observation microsatellites were successfully launched and that the first radio signals were successfully received.<\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>

\nGRUS-3 was integrated via Exolaunch and launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA, on July 7, 2026 at 07:12 (UTC) during the Transporter-17 rideshare mission. The satellites were successfully put into their intended orbit. Axelspace received the first radio signals from all the seven satellites in orbit. The satellites are currently operating normally.<\/p>

\nAxelspace is working toward completing the critical operation of the GRUS-3 microsatellite to ensure proper functioning in orbit, in preparation for future services based on Earth observation data acquired by them.<\/p>
