Taiwan's First National Space Launch Site Faces EIA Hurdles, Targets 2034 Orbit

Taiwan's national space launch site project faces EIA hurdles, delaying its 2034 autonomous satellite launch goal.
Taiwan's National Space Organization (TASA) faced a setback as the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for its Jiupeng launch site was sent back for corrections due to insufficient air pollution and noise evaluations. The project is critical for Taiwan's space autonomy, aiming to launch a 200kg-class satellite into orbit by 2034. TASA must address ecological and local community concerns before proceeding.
The Taiwan Space Agency (TASA) has in recent years been actively promoting the development of Taiwan's space industry. Among its most closely watched infrastructure projects—the new "Jiupeng Launch Site" located in Mudan Township, Pingtung County—a project review subcommittee recently held a preliminary review meeting for its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). However, the EIA committee members felt that the project's assessment and countermeasures regarding air pollution, noise impact, ecological conservation, and local communication remained insufficient, and ultimately decided to "recommend supplementation and re-review," requiring the space agency to supply the relevant data and improvement plans within a set deadline.
