福爾摩沙衛星八號

FORMOSAT-8

福衛八號計畫傳承福衛五號本體設計基礎，研製低成本、高效能的先導型衛星通用平台，提供後續多種衛星任務使用。計畫目標將循序發展六枚高解析度光學遙測衛星（黑白1米、彩色2米），佈建衛星於近地軌道構成星系，透過地面影像後處理目標達次米解析度。

FORMOSAT-8 program, inheriting the core design baseline from FORMOSAT-5, plans to develop a generic bus to serve as the common platform, with low cost and high performance, for all of the satellite missions in Taiwan in the future. Six remote sensing satellites (GSD: 1m/PAN and 2m/MS) in low earth orbit will be constructed to a constellation according to the program goal and they can achieve the sub-meter resolution through the post processing of ground imaging task. The deployment of a constellation of satellites can provide satellite images and dynamic monitoring information with high observation frequency and global coverage, which can be applied to the fields of homeland security, environmental monitoring, disaster prevention and survey. In addition, it can drive the domestic industry, education and research team to establish a space industry supply chain.
