1 課程

太空科學與工程學導論(工程組)、衛星通訊產業基礎、衛星系統工程

2 專業

大氣潮汐、行星波、中氣層、下層熱電離層、大氣-電離層耦合、衛星資料分析、衛星遙測

太空科學：我有科學與工程的背景，專業研究題目最早是高層大氣動力學以及其對地球中氣層、熱氣層太空天氣的影響。後來延伸到大氣層與電離層耦合所產生的太空天氣變化。

小型人造衛星與酬載開發、能量建構：大約十年前開始發展設計、建構、操作小型人造衛星作為科學任務探索的平台，現在也演進到與國內廠商合作，協助該公司建構能力來執行自己的衛星任務，同時也努力設計自己的衛星次系統，提升我們衛星國產的比例。

1 Courses

Introduction to Space Science and Engineering(Engineering), Basics of the Satellite Communications Industry, Satellite System Engineering

2 Expertise

Atmospheric Tides, Planetary Waves, Mesosphere, Lower Thermosphere, Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling, Satellite Data Analysis, Satellite Remote Sensing

Space science: I have experience in fields of both science and engineering. Initially my fields of research were upper atmospheric dynamics and its effects on the space weather of the mesosphere and the thermosphere. Later extended to include the atmosphere-ionosphere coupling behaviors and their influences.

Small satellites and payload development, raising domestic industries: Roughly a decade ago we started to develop in the design, construction and maneuver of small satellites as a platform for scientific explorations. Now we also expanded to cooperate with domestic industries and even assist to construct their capabilities to execute their own satellite missions. Meanwhile aiming to design our own satellite subsystems to further facilitate domestic satellite production.

3 教授還想說

我們與國際多間學校在 2015 年建立一個叫做 INSPIRE (International Satellite Project in Research and Education,  https://lasp.colorado.edu/missions/inspire-sat/) 的學術聯盟，共同合作執行大家各自爭取到的小型衛星科學任務與學生衛星實作培訓。

我們每年暑假都會送 3 - 4 名學生去美國 University of Colorado at Boulder擁有非常豐富的太空任務經驗的 Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP, https://lasp.colorado.edu/ ) 實習，並且由資深的科學家與工程師指導執行大家共同執行的衛星任務。

隨著人類重返月球，過去這三年我們也發展深太空探測儀（Deep Space Radiation Probe）酬載，預計搭載於 2024 Q4 發射的日本民間登月廠商的 ispace Hakuto-R Mission 2 登月小艇，成為台灣第一個登月任務！

酬載輕量版 Compact Radiation Probe 也預計將整合到我們與美國、澳洲、法國的 INSPIRE 會員團隊合作的 COSPAR-1 3U 立方衛星，也是預計年底發射。我們因此也開始建構太空輻射測試能力與環境監測能力。目前也在針對可能是繞月衛星 COSPAR-2 的任務目標與構想展開研究與分析。

4 學長姐想說

起維老師是個對探索太空充滿熱情的人，他也推動許多計畫，是個大忙人，常常在世界各國間飛來飛去~

老師也給人活力充沛的印象，因為他常常在IG上分享生活點滴，有工作相關的還有運動紀錄等豐富的內容。

在大一上學期，會修到起維老師開的太空科學與工程導論課，內容包含太空載具系統介紹、電離層物理簡介等，主要是初步引導我們接觸太空科學與工程的基礎知識，而各個細項在其他課程會有更深入的講解。老師是用中文講課，但投影片、作業跟考試題目都是用英文寫的，自認很不擅長的英文的人可能會需要付出更多心力準備。

小建議：上課認真作筆記，還有考試時要帶工程計算機(￣▽￣)ノ

3 Words From the Professor                                     

In 2015, we had collaborated with various international partners to establish an academic alliance named INSPIRE (International Satellite Project in Research and Education, https://lasp.colorado.edu/missions/inspire-sat/). Cooperatively executed the satellite missions everyone managed to launch and the hands-on training of satellite systems for our students.

Every summer we would send 3-4 students to the University of Colorado at Boulder in America for internship at Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP, https://lasp.colorado.edu/), where highly experienced scientists and engineers instruct everyone on their collaborated satellite missions.

Besides, as humanity began to return to the moon, we have also been on the development of Deep Space Radiation Probe payloads for the past three years. We expect it to be loaded on the Japanese lunar module ispace Hakuto-R Mission 2 launching in Q4 2024, which will be Taiwan’s first lunar mission!

We also expect to integrate our light payload Compact Radiation Probe into CubeSat COSPAR-1 3U launched under the collaboration of fellow INSPIRE members in America, France and Australia at the end of this year(2024). Therefore we are constructing the capabilities on space radiation testing and environment monitoring. We are also initiating research and analyses regarding the mission objectives and concepts of the potentially lunar-orbiting project COSPAR-2. 

4 Words From Senior Students

Loren is a man passionate in space exploration and actively promotes various projects. He’s also a busy man often traveling all over the world for his work.

He has the impression of a lively person as he shares his life on Instagram with contents ranging from his works to sports experiences.

During the freshman year, you will have to take the course Introduction to Space Science and Engineering partly hosted by him. With his sections including introductions to spacecraft subsystems and ionospheric physics to provide basic insights regarding the fields of research in our department. In the course he speaks in mostly Chinese but the slideshows, assignments and exam questions will be written in English, shouldn’t be a problem if you are reading this part of the webpage.

⭐Suggestions: Take notes during class and prepare a scientific calculator for the exam.(￣▽￣)ノ
