The site is temporary while the ministry seeks another property where it could establish a permanent launch site for commercial use. Representatives from Syuhai Village in Pingtung County’s Mudan Township hold a community meeting with officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology in the county on Monday. The ministry is accepting applications from scientific teams that could use the site to test their sounding rockets, it said. The National Space Organization (NSPO) is to share profits generated by the launch site in a bid to promote technological development while protecting Aboriginal rights, the ministry said. Despite the delay, it is a positive development that the ministry is now providing guidelines to follow when testing sounding rockets, Wei said.
