The origin of life and the universe has remained unsolved for astronomers and physicists who desire to solve the mystery. NCKU cooperated with the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) to participate in the International High Energy Physics Research Project hosted by Dr. Samuel C. C. Ting who was awarded with the Nobel Prize. The project mainly discusses issues including the origin of the universe. Moreover, under the industrial-academia cooperation between NCKU and AIDC takes part in the “Upgraded Tracker Thermal Pump System (UTTPS)” of AMS-02, where the team successfully produced the radiator for the space probe meeting the requirement from NASA. Teams from Taiwan, the U.S.A, China, Germany, and Italy mainly take the responsibility of this project, which is considered to be the more challenging task than the repair of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 1994, crossing national boundaries.

The FORMOSAT-7 satellite is equipped with a global satellite navigation system radio signal receiver, which can receive the US GPS and Russia's GLONASS global satellite navigation system (GNSS) signals and can measure the radio occultation signals, atmospheric pressure, temperature, atmospheric parameters such as humidity, and electron concentration in the ionosphere. After the deployment of the FORMOSAT-7 galaxy is completed, the altitude is 550 kilometers, the inclination angle is 24 degrees, and it orbits the earth in about 97 minutes. It can provide about 4,000 pieces of data per day between 50 degrees north and south latitude. The amount of data in the vicinity of Taiwan is about 3 to 4 times that of FORMOSAT-3, greatly increasing the meteorological data of low-latitude areas including Taiwan. The observation data is provided by the Central Weather Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and incorporated into the numerical forecast system to improve the accuracy of domestic weather forecasts and severe weather (typhoon track and rainfall) forecasting. An average of 4000 points of atmospheric data can be provided every day, which is of great help to the weather forecast, climate observation, and space weather monitoring.
