$47million lunar lander being developed by NASA and Taiwan

[GhostZ06]

Set for launch in the early 2020’s, the Resource Prospector is designed to excavate hydrogen, oxygen and water from the moon.

“Taiwan has an outstanding ability to build electronic components and auxiliary systems for spacecraft, but the nation has had little opportunity to participate in space missions, so it has limited space flight history,” said international program director of Chung-shan Institute of Science and Technology Han Kuo-chang.

The participation in NASA’s Resource Prospector mission might earn Taiwan a ticket into the aerospace industry supply chain.”

The main goal of the mission is to create more affordable and sustainable human exploration into deep space.

Your question is indicative of how people do not realize just how high tech Taiwan is when it comes to production of electronic components.
