Our business
Remote sensing is a technology used for studying the shape and properties of objects from a distance without touching them. With this technology, the entire Earth can be observed from space using satellites. This is called satellite remote sensing.
RESTEC provides total solutions by harnessing its comprehensive strengths, ranging from research and development to implementation and use of satellite remote sensing, in order to contribute to resolving social issues, including environmental issues,
natural disasters, national land management, and agriculture, forestry, and fishery issues.
Paving the way for a prosperous future
with remote sensing technology- Enhancing, Connecting and Sharing -
Vision
RESTEC has been using remote sensing technology for half a century to collect data on the ever-changing conditions of the Earth from space, and deliver it worldwide.
Our planet is facing challenges, such as global climate change, record-breaking torrential rains due to global warming, and dramatic changes in the security environment. Additionally, Japan is entering a critical phase as its social infrastructure ages and its labor force declines.
Under these circumstances, RESTEC strives to explore the potential of remote sensing technology in order to provide data tailored to the diverse values of our users, improve the quality of people’s lives, and pave the way for a prosperous future.
“Enhancing”
RESTEC will continuously pursue the development and use of remote sensing technology to further enhance its technological capabilities and values.
“Connecting”
RESTEC will leverage the achievements made by remote sensing technology to benefit numerous fields and connect society.
“Sharing”
RESTEC will share the prosperous future paved by remote sensing technology with people all over the world.
The seven business areas of RESTEC
