How to Choose

Finding the right fit for your project

The three services listed here address different points in the communications and research cycle. A satellite mission briefing is typically commissioned ahead of a specific event or external audience engagement. Industry reporting suits organisations with a continuing need to track the sector. A research compilation is usually tied to a project with defined research questions.

If you are unsure which applies to your situation, a short message describing your project is enough for us to suggest a path. There is no obligation attached to that conversation.

01

You have a specific event or milestone

A launch date, an in-orbit review, a public announcement — and need communications materials prepared for an external audience. → Satellite Mission Briefing

02

You need ongoing sector awareness

Monthly briefings on Japanese aerospace developments without having to track primary sources yourself. → Aerospace Industry Reporting

03

You have a defined research or editorial need

Structured programme profiles with written narrative, chronological reference, and bibliography for a specific project. → Research Compilation

Satellite Mission Briefing
SVC-01 3 weeks

Satellite Mission Briefing

A briefing service for organisations preparing communications around a satellite programme — whether an upcoming launch, an in-orbit milestone, or a longer-term mission narrative. We draft written briefing materials, prepare visual reference assets, and assemble a media-ready document pack.

The engagement spans three weeks and includes two review sessions. Suitable for research bodies, small operators, and Japanese university programmes communicating with broader audiences.

Aerospace Industry Reporting

An ongoing reporting service that produces monthly briefs on Japanese aerospace developments, drawing on public filings, technical conferences, and interviews. Each brief covers selected topics in measured depth and arrives with reference material.

Subscriptions run in three-month blocks. Suitable for analysts, journalists, and policy researchers seeking a steady perspective on a fast-moving sector without the overhead of tracking primary sources themselves.

Across All Services

What every engagement includes, regardless of service type

Defined scope

Agreed document structure and deliverables before any sourcing or drafting begins.

Primary sourcing

All materials drawn from primary Japanese aerospace documentation, not secondary aggregators.

On-time delivery

Delivery date stated upfront and held to. Early communication if any timeline pressure arises.

Reference notes

Sourcing notes included with every deliverable so recipients can verify and follow on independently.

Who We Work With

Organisations that have found these services useful

Research bodies

University programmes and research institutes preparing communications about satellite-related projects for external audiences, funders, or partner organisations.

Small operators

Japanese satellite operators and small commercial teams that need professional briefing materials without the overhead of a full in-house communications function.

Analysts & journalists

Sector analysts, policy researchers, and journalists covering Japanese aerospace who need structured monthly context drawn from primary sources.

Educators

Lecturers, curriculum designers, and science communicators preparing background material on Japanese space programmes for students or public audiences.

Museum & exhibition teams

Teams developing interpretive content for space-related exhibitions who need accurate, well-sourced reference material as the foundation for their writing.

Editorial teams

Small editorial teams at publications covering science, technology, or international affairs who need reliable background research on Japanese space developments.

How It Works

The same process applies across all three services

01

Initial contact

Send us a short message about your project or the service you are interested in. We respond within two working days with clarifying questions or a proposed scope.

02

Scoping session

A short exchange to agree structure, audience, timeline, and any specific constraints. The scope is confirmed in writing before work begins.

03

Sourcing & drafting

We gather primary materials and draft against the agreed structure. A midpoint review session gives you the opportunity to redirect before the draft is complete.

04

Delivery

Final document delivered by the agreed date with sourcing notes and a handover summary. Ready for distribution without further editing in most cases.

Common Questions

A few things people often ask before starting

Can I combine more than one service?

Yes. Some organisations use Industry Reporting as an ongoing background layer and commission a Mission Briefing around specific events. A Research Compilation can also serve as a foundation for later briefing work. We scope combinations the same way as individual engagements — starting with a clear brief about what each element needs to produce.

What does the scoping process involve?

A short exchange — usually by email — covering the audience for the document, the purpose it needs to serve, any specific topics or programmes to include or exclude, and the required delivery date. This takes two to three working days and is confirmed in writing before any sourcing begins.

What if I need something outside the three listed services?

The three services cover most situations we encounter, but we are happy to hear about projects that fall outside them. If we can help, we will say how. If a project falls outside what we do well, we will say that too.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment terms are agreed at the scoping stage and confirmed in writing before work begins. We will outline the arrangement clearly in the scoping summary — there are no unexpected fees or charges added after an engagement is underway.

A paragraph describing what you are working on is enough for us to suggest a path and propose a scope. No commitment required at this stage.
