Taiwanese authorities say the island’s new Formosat satellites will soon be transported to the US by China Airlines, the island’s flag carrier. This could happen after the Lunar New Year break in February, with the satellites then being launched into service aboard SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida in the second quarter of 2019.
The Formosat-7, the latest generation of the series, is jointly developed by the island’s National Space Organization and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration following an agreement signed in 2010.
It originally had 13 micro satellites in two groups, but the two sides agreed to scale back to the six-microsatellite formation due to budget constraints. Launch dates have already been postponed a number of times.
The previous launch was slated for April 2018, but was delayed after Space X notified Taiwan that it would require more time to test its rocket “to guarantee a prefect mission”.
Its precursor, the Formosat-3, is the world’s first satellite network that collects weather data through radio occultation techniques.
Comprised of six micro satellites, the new NT$3.2 billion (US$104 million) seventh-generation constellation is designed to collect weather data and is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and equipment to collect meteorological and ionospheric data. It is touted as employing the “most accurate and stable thermometers in space”.
The Formosat-7 system will also improve climate observation, in particular in predicting typhoon paths and torrential rains, and Taiwan’s government has stressed that the new satellites would serve no military purpose.
But Chinese media including the Global Times have hinted that with ultra-sensitive lens and remote sensing devices, the new satellites could pose a threat to the mainland’s national security and act as an eye for Taiwan and the US to spy on PLA deployments in Fujian province, which borders the Taiwan Strait.
The US launch the Taiwanese satellite is the spy for US and Allies. Nothing good for Taiwan,stupid keen for creating war in this region.

Andrew Lin Taiwan should respect the historical when given opportunity. They all Han Chinese with same character. That survey only 75% to 25% favor China rule rather than future war between themselves. It’s had many time reconciliation to Peaceable talk, due foreign interference in the past. China will not attack Taiwan unless independence.

Andrew Lin Not everybody who hold top or authoritarianism position, in any organizations are 101% clean. They are Manga mob devil. But screen- filter to fine layer of the persons characteristic must absolutely discard even their slight bad effects exposed. How to process it good qualities?Look upon their history record during young time involve into national contribution activities. Since hard work through may take about 40 yrs. Among the world,not just want power by propagandist populism themselves and money power-corruption where the hand-full of the US senators-and many other democracy nations are mostly happened. China there is still the best-CCP,some bad character had been almost weaved out by chairman Xi. Also not easy to kick out completely to those,sure reflex by enemies-dangerous- revenge in future on himself. He had to do it for China sake future,so no foreign will instigate,influence on China policy -Chinese people won’t fall into the all bad effects trap.

Andrew Lin China won’t attack Taiwan unless refused to fold back(break away) or independent .To be fair game Attack military base not civilian. Nasty way, too bad Taiwan want to attack civilian airport in China. “Taiwanese missiles targeting Chinese airports operational Chinese airbases and airports are within the 200-kilometer”

Andrew Lin The Potsdam Proclamation in 1945 reaffirmed that the terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out.-US confirmed recognize 9dash lines after Japanese surrendered, hand over to Chiang Kai shek ,sail around during his power before the Communist take over Kuomintang regime. US interest had lost in this area,now is not honored the status of this due Mao control China.Western setup UNCLOS too late 1982,attempt to distort the facts of China.US have no business/interest at all here to hold power,they already snatch up a lot of small islands by force around the world.

Andrew Lin France recognised the islands, as well as the Spratly Islands,as well as the Paracel Islands to the north as sovereign Chinese territory after the 1884-1885 Sino-French war. In 1933 the French stabbed China in the back and seized the islands but were then displaced by the Japanese in 1938.
The islands reverted to Chinese control at the end of the Second World War.
