Vietnam’s satellite to enter space in late 2018
Micro Dragon, a satellite made by Vietnamese engineers, is expected to be launched into space in late 2018, according to the Vietnam National Space Centre (VNSC) under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology.
[…]After going into orbit, it will observe coastal sea areas to assess water quality, locate fisheries resources, and monitor changes in coastal waters to serve Vietnam’s aquaculture industry. It is also set to receive sensory signals from the ground and then transfer data to other distant places on earth, while testing new materials like atomic oxygen and antimony tin oxide coating solar cell.
