Japanese perspective on space security has begun with a very unique setting. The 1969 Diet Resolution has put heavy constraints on its space activities, and interpretation of “non-military” approach has refrained Japan from anything related to security. However, the 1998 Taepodong launch and subsequent reform of space policy eventually created Basic Space Law in 2008. Although the organizational culture and history still influence on the decision-making process, changing security environment and the role of Japan in the Asia-Pacific region made Japan to be more active and committed to both security by and of space.
