FORMOSAT-8 satellite platform developed by Taiwan Space Agency and domestic partners.
FORMOSAT-8 spacecraft bus is the Taiwan Space Agency platform for the planned FORMOSAT-8 Earth-observation constellation [1][2]. The constellation is planned as eight high-resolution EO satellites, with six optical imaging satellites and two satellites carrying other payload types [1][2]. The platform is described as a small optical remote-sensing satellite bus, with a cuboid, three-axis-stabilised body and deployable solar arrays [2]. Published mission summaries place each satellite at about 400 kg, which fits the mini-class mass bracket [2].
