TAIPEI, May 3 : Taiwan’s Foxconn said on Sunday its second-generation low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites were launched via a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from California, marking the electronics manufacturer’s latest push into space technology.
The company’s PEARL-1A and PEARL-1B satellites entered their intended orbits and will conduct on-orbit missions for five years, it said.
Foxconn said the two satellites are primarily designed to verify payload technologies in the fields of communication and space science.
