太空中心於4月18—20日舉辦「2018年第四屆國際GPS掩星觀測研討會」，會議目的在於提供全球掩星資料使用者研究成果交流平台，並針對福衛七號發射後相關資料驗證與校正以及科學合作等議題進行討論。包括美國國家海洋暨大氣總署（NOAA）代表、聯合國國際氣象組織下掩星工作小組（IROWG）召集人、ICON衛星計畫主持人、美國大學大氣研究聯盟（UCAR）主管、GOLD衛星任務科學家、美國國家科學基金會太空天氣計畫主任、NASA噴射推進實驗室電離層研究主管等，都親自出席參與本次會議。會議共有來自14個國家的150名研究人員與會，發表論文60餘篇，同時配合國際趨勢與國研院太空中心自主發展的福衛7R衛星計團，在會議中新增GNSS反射訊號研究應用相關主題，並搭配台美研究生活動以及國內廠商在太空科技產品的展示等活動。

The 4th International Conference on GPS Radio Occultation (ICGPSRO) in 2018 was held by National Space Organization (NSPO) from April 18th to 20th. The purpose of the conference was to provide a platform for the exchange of research results of users of global occultation data, and to discuss the topics of verification I correction related information after the launch of FORMOSAT-7 as well as scientific research cooperation. etc. A few key representatives including representing officer of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Convener of International Radio Occultation Working Group (IROWG) sponsored by World Meteorological Organization (WMO), ICON Satellite Program Manager, representing officer of University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). GOLD Satellite Mission Scientist, Director of Space Weather Program at National Science Foundation (NSF), and representing officer of the ionospheric research at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory attended the meeting. A total of 150 researchers from 14 countries attended the conference and published more than 60 papers. At the same time, a new GNSS reflection signal research application was added during the conference in line with international trends and the NSPO self-developed FORMOSAT-7R satellite program, in addition to the Taiwan-US postgraduate activities and the exhibition of space technology products from domestic manufacturers.
