The document summarizes major milestones in the development of a ground station and nanosatellite by a team in Vietnam from 2009-2010. It includes the completion of ground station capabilities, design work for the nanosatellite from 2009-mid 2010, and manufacturing, testing, and potential launch of engineering and flight model satellites by late 2010. Key goals are taking photos of Vietnam from space and transmitting data to prove domestic satellite capabilities.

9. How to launch a small satellite into space? Via proven launcher: ~ $60,000 Via new launcher: from ~ $5,000 From: Roger.Walker@esa.int [mailto:Roger.Walker@esa.int] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 5:49 PM To: Vu Trongthu Cc: Benoit.Geffroy@esa.int; Francesco.Emma@esa.int Subject: RE: European Space Agency AO VEGA Dear Thu, It is nice to meet you too. I have had a look at your forms, and can confirm that your application is not eligible for the VERTA-1 flight opportunity, should it be announced in the future by ESA. The opportunity would, as previously for the Vega maiden flight, only be open to applicants from ESA Member and Cooperating States. With regard to upcoming launch opportunities, we are very pleased to announce the following firm launches available for CubeSats: 2009: * Mar/Apr, ~550-600km 41° inclination, India, multiple slots * June, ~817km Sun Synchronous, 10:30 LTDN, India, multiple slots * Jul/Sep, ~670km Sun Synchronous, 10:15 LTDN, India, multiple slots 2010: * Jan/Mar, ~820km 20° inclination, India, several slots * Mid, 600-800km Sun Synchronous, India, multiple slots * Late, 600-900km Sun Synchronous, Brazil, multiple slots
