| Abstract: |
| Taiwan has implemented two phases of space technology long-term plans since 1991. As a newly emerging space country, Taiwan has gradually established its own space technology. After 26 years, Taiwan first indigenous FORMOSAT-5 was successfully launched and operated on August 25, 2017, making Taiwan to be one of the few countries with the capability of self-building a high resolution remote sensing satellite. FORMOSAT-7 program with 6 satellites, a joint space program between Taiwan and USA, will be also launched in this year.
Currently, Taiwan is planning its the third phase space technology development plan from 2019 to 2028. In the next decade, 10 satellite programs will be implemented, and all of them will be built domestically. In addition to introducing the past and future of Taiwan`s national space program, I will also talk about the orbit selections of Taiwan`s remote sensing satellites as well as the constellation deployment method of FORMOSAT-7 6 satellites. |
