Pale Blue Joins the Impact Startup Association
CHIBA, Japan (Dec.18) – Pale Blue is proud to announce its admission to the Impact Startup Association as a regular member. Pale Blue is a startup that manages the entire lifecycle from developing and manufacturing to the sale of propulsion systems designed specifically for small satellites. While the utilization of small satellites for Earth observation and telecommunications has advanced rapidly in recent years, the sector faces significant bottlenecks regarding propulsion technology such as the prevalence of toxic propellants and the technical complexities associated with miniaturization. By delivering compact propulsion systems that utilize safe, non-toxic propellants, Pale Blue effectively overcomes these barriers. In doing so, the company embodies the Impact Startup Association’s dual mission: achieving “sustainable growth” while “solving social issues” through innovative technology.
