What Act on Ensuring Appropriate Handling of Satellite Remote Sensing Data (Act No. 77 of 2016) requires
Japan's Act on Ensuring Appropriate Handling of Satellite Remote Sensing Data regulates the use of satellite remote sensing instruments and the handling of the resulting data. A person who intends to use a satellite remote sensing instrument via a command and control ground station located in Japan must obtain a license from the Prime Minister for each satellite remote sensing instrument (Article 4, paragraph 1). The Act defines satellite remote sensing data by reference to electromagnetic recordings transmitted to the ground and specified handling criteria (Article 2, item (vi)), allows persons handling such data to obtain certification from the Prime Minister (Article 21), and imposes penalties of imprisonment of not more than three years or a fine of not more than 1,000,000 yen, or both, for specified violations (Article 33). It applies to operators of satellite remote sensing instruments controlled from Japan and to handlers of satellite remote sensing data.
