Starlink was once the flagship project of Space X, and initially promoted Taiwan's low-orbit satellite and aerospace industry. However, a potential bankruptcy could cause the industry's growth prospects to collapse.
It is reported that Space X is facing the crisis of producing the next generation Raptor engine, which will power the huge, fully reusable Starship . If SpaceX can't launch a Starship every two weeks in 2022, it could go bankrupt.
Kinpo, which is the main supplier of ground base stations for Space X's low-orbit satellites, and Parpro, which supplies printed circuit boards, will both take a real hit.
Solar cell supplier TSEC has benefited greatly from the project because each low-orbit satellite requires more than 8,600 solar cells to operate, and the company will also be put on hold. The same goes for AcBel Polytech, which has already started processing orders for power supply equipment and satellite receivers for Space X.
