During the execution of the National Space Organization's FORMOSAT-2 project, seven major components are contracted to manufacture in Taiwan in order to ensure the participation of Taiwanese companies in the development of the key satellite components. Through the introduction of space-grade l product, the technology level of Taiwan companies can be raised and their global competitive advantages can be strengthened. The main structure of the FORMOSAT-2 is developed in a joint effort between the National Space Organization (NSPO) and Aerospace Industrial Development Corp. Six other major components, i.e. on-board computer, fly software modules, S-band antenna, sun sensor, hardness , and vertical integration dolly, are contracted to the satellite contractor, EADS Astrium of France, and subsequently subcontracted to six Taiwanese companies, i.e Acer Inc., Tatung System Technologies Inc., Victory Industrial Corp., Shilin Electric & Engineering Corp., Aerospace Industrial Development Corp., and Tai-Hsiang Aerospace Corp.

After Astrium received all components mentioned above from the Taiwanese subcontractors, starting from April 2002, these components, along with other components, are sequentially delivered to the NSPO integration and testing facility for the satellite assembly and testing. On September 2002, the satellite system had passed the spacecraft bus function test. Starting from December 2002, after the completion of satellite inspection, NSPO has commenced the assembly of payload instruments and the comprehensive performance test and conducted environment testing such as electromagnetic compatibility test, thermal vacuum test, acoustic test, vibration test, solar panel deployment test, separation shock test, and mass property measurement. These tests are designed to ensure that all components are space-qualified and meets the FORMOSAT-2 mission requirements.

To recognize the efforts and achievements of these Taiwanese component manufacturers during the FORMOSAT-2 project, the National Space Program Office and Astrium have awarded these companies with certifications of successful completion of space environmental testing on December 11, 2003. .
