NSI satellite data platform and monitoring services

New Space Intelligence (NSI) is a satellite data company headquartered in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, with a Tokyo office. It develops data platforms that convert global satellite data into formats usable by businesses and public bodies, led by CEO Yumiko Nagai.

The core is calibration and harmonisation of optical and SAR data from different satellites, plus change detection. On top sit monitoring services for railway infrastructure, tunnels and roads, land deformation, flood and disaster hazards, illegal dumping and remote islands.

• Satellite data harmonisation: calibrates and integrates data from multiple satellites.
• Change detection: image and SAR-based detection of changes on the ground.
• Infrastructure monitoring: railways, tunnels, roads and construction sites.
• Hazard monitoring: flooding, land deformation and house collapse damage assessment.
• Global Index: land index used as a base for applications.

Land subsidence and slope movement monitoring along rail and highway projects. Flood extent mapping for provincial disaster agencies. Detection of illegal dumping or land use change for urban management.

Combines optical and SAR satellite data into consistent products. Offers wide-area monitoring of infrastructure without site visits. Supports flood and disaster hazard assessment. Plans expansion into Asia, North America and Africa according to the funding announcement.

Demand is rising for satellite-based monitoring that replaces costly site inspection of long linear assets and supports disaster response. Vietnam's long rail and road corridors and its flood and landslide exposure make wide-area SAR monitoring relevant.

Headquartered in Ube City, Yamaguchi, Japan, with a Tokyo office. Raised JPY 430 million Series A in April 2026 led by Partners Fund. Selected for JAXA Space Strategy Fund project. Partners listed include ArkEdgeSpace, AIT and Axelspace. Founding year not stated on fetched pages.
