This year’s annual event is being held in celebration of Vietnam Science and Technology Day (May 18) and the 39th anniversary of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).

Dr Vu Anh Tuan, Director of the National Satellite Center (VNSC) said that right from early morning, the event attracted a huge number of Vietnamese scientists, students, and universe lovers keen to learn more about space-technology sector in the country.

They raised a lot of questions on Vietnamese-made micro satellite Pico Dragon, and the programmes and projects on space technology applications to serve community benefits.

The centre’s experts also introduced visitors to the universe technology in Vietnam and the VAST’s Space Technology Projects, Vietnam Space Center Project in Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park (the largest science and technology project in Vietnam during the past 35 years), and  a  plan on satellite technology development and application in Vietnam in 2020.

Visitors also had chance to learn about opportunities to study and work in the field of space and satellite technology in Vietnam and Japan, exchange with staff involving  in space technology projects, and visit laboratories where micro and meteorological satellites are installed.

The festival is the result of a joint effort by VNSC and VAST.
