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].
