The dual-use nature of space technologies, meaning that they cut across both market and military applications, has had two important consequences for Japan. First, Japan has developed space technologies for the market in its civilian space program that have yet to be commercially competitive. Second, faced with rising geopolitical uncertainties and in the interest of their own economics, the makers of such technologies have been critical players in the shift from the market to the military in Japan's space capabilities and policy. This book shows how the sum total of market-to-military moves across space launch vehicles, satellites and spacecraft, and emerging related technologies, already mark Japan as an advanced military space power. 606 $aAstronautics and state$zJapan 606 $aNational security$zJapan 606 $aAstronautics, Military$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAstronautics and state 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aAstronautics, Military 676 $a623/.690952 700 $aPekkanen$b Saadia M$01037536 701 $aKallender-Umezu$b Paul$01048243 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459463903321 996 $aIn defense of Japan$92476416 997 $aUNINA
