Taiwan's first self -made meteorological satellite wind hunt finally launched a launch on Monday (October 9).Taiwan Tsai Ing -wen posted on Facebook that this is not only a big step in Taiwan's aerospace industry. I believe it is also a big step for all Taiwanese to proud.
According to the Taiwan United Daily report, Taiwan's first homemade meteorological satellite wind hunting (Triton) on Monday was 9:36 am on Monday in French Guyana, and took the Occupor Girl (VEGA) rocket launched by Aleian.Lift off.
Wu Zongxin, director of the National Space Center in Taiwan, pointed out in an interview that the wind hunting satellite was going to take the VEGA rocket to enter the space execution task on Saturday (October 7).Slightly beyond the standard.In order to cancel the launch task carefully, after 48 hours of detailed detection and confirmation, it was decided to challenge the launch again on Monday morning.
Wu Zongxin said that the wind hunting person has traveled. It is expected that for the first time on Monday at 8:56 pm, passing through Taiwan for the first time, and the connection with the ground receiving station.It takes a few weeks to formally perform the task.
Wu Zongxin said that the main design purpose of the wind hunting is to measure the sea surface wind farm, which will be concentrated in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean in the early stage to provide the world's most important and lack of sea -surface wind speed information, as well as the central weather in Taiwan.The bureau is the most important information in meteorological prediction.
Wu Zongxin said that the Space Center is currently implementing the third plan. In addition to the weather -hunting meteorological satellite, there are Fuwei 8 and Fuwei 9.Fuwei 8 is an optical remote test satellite. It is similar to the current Fuwei No. 5. Fushang No. 9 is the microwave satellite (synthetic aperture radar). It can also penetrate the clouds at night. ThereforeGuarding Taiwan's safety.
Tsai Ing -wen posted on Facebook on Monday, "The materials collected by the wind hunting can be applied to scientific research such as atmosphere, ocean, and land hydrology.It will contribute to the world. Wind hunting today will be launched to prove that the advantages of Taiwan semiconductors and precision manufacturing are absolutely capable of entering the global space industry. "
She revealed that the government will go through through the future through throughThe third phase of the Space Plan invested NT $ 25.1 billion (about S $ 1.067 billion) in 10 years. With the people, it will jointly promote the development of the space industry chain and will also cultivate the next generation of space science and technology talents.
