Inmarsat relay was used to deliver D-OBEC ship-identification results to users; JAXA reported average latency of about 14 minutes from observation completion.

Slide 8 establishes use of Inmarsat relay service, not legal procurement buyer or price. No optical-link role is inferred. June 4 is presentation date, and this result predates Space Shift’s June-July trials; it must not be attributed to that app. The original PDF was visually reviewed; automated capture remains separate.

Three selected app proposals: observation-data compression; ship detection with satellite coordination; and SAR interference detection. The source does not establish three separate executed contracts.

JAXA’s selection result reports demonstration agreements with proposers. The call assigns app-development costs to applicants and environment/data/orbital-operation costs to JAXA; it does not establish a paid procurement award. Contract signing dates, value and executed terms are not disclosed. Selection alone does not establish a completed flight experiment. March 2 is the selection-result publication date corroborated by JAXA’s dated program index.
