Taiwan rocket launch card 5 months Taiwan's science and technology department anxiously throws out "hot potato"
[Overseas.net comprehensive report on May 6] Taiwan's promotion of space technology company plans to test rockets in Taitung since the end of 2019. Due to local residents' dissatisfaction and questioning its legality, it was postponed to launch in June 2020 according to the contract. Taiwan media reports that the rocket launch is now in the "three no matter what zone". Taiwan's science and technology department, economic management department, and transportation department have pushed away, hoping to push this "hot potato" to other departments.
According to Taiwan's "United News" report, a rocket reflects that this emerging field is still in the "three no matter what zone". The reason for Taiwan's science and technology department head Chen Liangji gave the reason that the promotion of space technology company is a commercial company, which is now returned to the Taiwan economic department. However, it is uncertain whether the rocket has any business opportunities. If it is a commercial business, it may be supervised by the economic department; in addition, if the rocket is not in outer space, it should be regulated by the current regulations of the transportation department that manage the aircraft.
Taiwan ’s science and technology department ’s remarks were questioned by the island ’s public opinion to push the rocket ’s “hot potato” to other departments. Chen Liangji quickly explained: “In the short term, the challenge in the field of rockets is the promotion of test launches that are blocked. Compliance launch bases and no safety regulations. The science and technology department is responsible for finding land and formulating regulations. If there is a need, other departments will also be helped to promote the development of emerging technologies. "
However, involving the medium- and long-term development of the rocket, Chen Liangji also wanted to shirk his responsibility, saying that it depends on whether Taiwan ’s transportation department has regulations to manage. If there are deficiencies, it may be necessary to establish another department to manage it. In this regard, the transportation department also shook hands and said that the ownership of rockets and satellites cannot be determined solely by the opinions of individual departments such as Taiwan ’s transportation department or science and technology department. This field must have high-level policy objectives, strategies and plans before it can be further discussion.
The promotion of space technology company to build a base and test rockets around the Nantian tribe in Taiwan was exposed in December 2019. When the agricultural base was used, the local residents were not informed in advance. The shooting was temporarily stopped. On February 13, 2020, the sounding rocket "Fly Squirrel No. 1" developed by Shengsheng Company was originally planned for the first test launch in the early morning, but the system signal was found abnormal at the last moment of the launch procedure, and the launch procedure was temporarily terminated.
"The wind at the seaside in the morning was very strong, resulting in anomalous system signals." Promotion Chairman Chen Yansheng explained the situation at the time and attributed the failure to poor weather. Regarding the current progress of the promotion of space technology companies to launch rockets, Chen Yansheng's latest response is that there has been no new progress recently, and he does not want to talk more.
"This rocket burned (probably the circuit board) after pressing the launch button, and it didn't move at all, and it didn't move at all. It was something that couldn't be used at all and cheated money." Party scams have said: "The test was fired again on February 13 and failed due to poor weather. May I ask, today is May 6, three months have passed. Has the weather been poor? Who cheated and failed It ’s because the DPP does n’t make rockets at all! "" Cai Yingwen told you if they bombed the houses of ordinary people: you must stand on your own feet! Wow haha! "(Overseas Net Zhu Huiyue)
