Vietnam’s NanoDragon satellite is expected to be launched into orbit with eight other Japanese satellites at the Uchinoura Space Center launch site in Japan’s Kagoshima prefecture on October 1. The Made-in-Vietnam satellite was transported from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport to Tokyo’s Narita Airport on August 11. NanoDragon is a nano-class cubesat satellite weighing 3.8 kilograms and was developed by the Vietnam Space Center at the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology.

Vietnam’s NanoDragon satellite was sent to Japan on August 11 and is expected to be launched before March. The satellite was developed to demonstrate the application of nano-scale satellite technology in integrating an Automatic Identification System (AIS) to track and monitor vessels at sea. It is a product of a Vietnam Space Center development roadmap for “Made in Vietnam” micro-satellites.
