About Astro Live Experiences

ALE (Astro Live Experiences) is a Japanese company developing satellites that create artificial meteor showers on demand — branded as Sky Canvas. The concept works by deploying source particles from an onboard dispenser that re-enter the atmosphere and ablate at ~60-80 km altitude, producing streaks visible across a 200 km diameter footprint. Founded in 2011 by Lena Okajima (a former Goldman Sachs analyst and astrophysicist), ALE launched its first demonstration satellite ALE-1 in January 2019. Scientific utility includes studying meteor composition and upper-atmosphere dynamics using known-composition particles. Customers include event organizers and city governments seeking spectacle-scale entertainment; ALE has collaborated with the Hiroshima 2023 G7 Summit as part of cultural event planning. The company positions artificial meteors as both entertainment and a scientific measurement platform.
