FS3/C RO production RO production increased recently after Ground

operation to adjust charging control regarding to different beta angle and different satellite.

Recent 60 days average is about 1500 profiles produced by 5 satellites. (the largest RO production in two year average is 1700 produced by 6 satellite)

Average in two month

FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 Constellation

1st Launch 6 SC to a parking orbit with

inclination angle of 24~28.5 deg.

Through constellation deployment, 6 SC will be separated to 6 orbital planes with 60-deg separation.

2nd Launch 6 SC to a parking orbit with

inclination angel of ~72 deg. Through constellation

deployment, 6 SC will be separated 6 orbital planes with 30-deg separation.

NSPO-built satellite will be sent to the space by the 2nd launch (green dash line).

Radio Occultation ApplicationProvide data for regional

forecasting and global forecasting

Enhance the accuracy for severe weather forecast

Monitor the space weather Provide data for climate

trending

Establish Taiwan’s Capabilities in Space Industry Procure mission satellites Develop NSPO-Built satelliteProvide the opportunity to

domestic researchers to develop science payload

Develop indigenous components

International Cooperation Execute agreement between Taiwan and the US to provide radio

occultation data Promote the cooperation with Europe and Asian on the related

studies.

Data Processing• US will develop data processing center and the

software will be installed in US Data Processing Center and Taiwan Data Processing Center.

• Taiwan will develop verification software. It is implemented by NSPO, Central Weather Bureau, and GPSARC center.

Data Application• The mission data will be made available on open

basis. • In Taiwan, the data application study is carried out

by Taiwan Typhoon and Flood Research Institute, Central Weather Bureau, and GPSARC center.
