Unseenlabs’ BRO-22 to Become the First Foreign Private Satellite Launched Aboard Japan’s H3 Launch Vehicle

Scheduled for June 10, between 09:53 and 11:52 a.m. Japan Standard Time, the launch will take place from the Yoshinobu Launch Complex at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)’s Tanegashima Space Center. The satellite will be integrated by Space BD. BRO-22 will strengthen Unseenlabs’ space-based RF detection constellation dedicated to maritime surveillance.

Building on the collaborative achievements of Unseenlabs and Space BD, including the Memorandum of Understanding signed in April 2026, this launch will further strengthen the partnership between the two companies. Furthermore, marking the first of many to come, Unseenlabs anticipates that its constellation will also be carried by the H3 rocket in the future

“This collaboration with Space BD and JAXA is important for Unseenlabs,” said Clément Galic, CEO and Co-Founder of Unseenlabs. “Japan is a strategic partner for France, and also for Unseenlabs. We are pleased to launch BRO-22 aboard Japan’s H3 rocket and to work with Space BD and JAXA on this mission. This launch is another step in the development of our constellation and supports our goal of providing reliable RF data for maritime surveillance worldwide.”
