🛰️ ResearchSat and National I Lan University’s Thermofluid Bio-energy Lab Sign MOU to Advance Space Life Science and Frontier Thermofluid Research

Yilan, Taiwan – September 23, 2025 — ResearchSat Pty Ltd, an Australian space technology company, and the Thermofluid Bio-energy Lab (TFBE Lab) of the Department of Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Engineering at National I Lan University have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking the beginning of a collaborative partnership in space life science experiments and technical consulting services.

The MOU outlines the mutual intent to cooperate, with ResearchSat providing TFBE Lab a suite of space life science services, including the operation of in-orbit biological experiments and professional technical support. This partnership not only symbolizes a fusion of research capabilities between Taiwan and Australia, but also injects new momentum into Taiwan’s development in space biotechnology.

ResearchSat, headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, is a leading company specializing in the design and execution of life science experiments aboard microsatellite platforms. TFBE Lab, based at National I Lan University in Yilan, Taiwan, has long been dedicated to research in thermofluid and bio-energy systems. The lab possesses strong interdisciplinary engineering capabilities and academic foundations, and has recently developed Taiwan’s first microgravity simulation system, actively contributing to frontier space research.

Professor Chin-Tsan Wang, who has an aerospace engineering background and currently serves as Director of the Space Computing Technology Center (SCTC) at National I Lan University, stated:
“Through this collaboration, TFBE Lab will be able to leverage ResearchSat’s spaceflight platform to conduct unprecedented in-orbit life science experiments. We aim to explore biological reactions and energy conversion mechanisms under microgravity conditions, further enhancing Taiwan’s global competitiveness in space technology and bioengineering.”

Both parties emphasized that this collaboration is just the beginning. Future plans include deepening technical exchange, joint research initiatives, and talent cultivation, while exploring new space applications and experimental innovations. Through this MOU, ResearchSat and TFBE Lab will jointly promote the advancement of space life science research, laying a stronger scientific foundation for humanity’s exploration of the universe.
