14:13, 2014/11/17
The Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) in co-ordination with the Ministry of National Resources and Environment held a workshop on the ASEAN earth observation satellite in Hanoi from November 13-14.
The workshop was aimed at fostering understanding of earth observation satellites for disaster monitoring in ASEAN countries and to discuss the sharing of disaster monitoring systems, satellite constellation, ground stations, and acquired data for the purpose of socio-economic development in each country in the region.
The launch of Vietnam’s first remote sensing satellite, VNREDSat-1 on May 7, 2013 marked a milestone in the development of Vietnam’s space technology.
Vietnam became the fifth ASEAN country to have its own earth observation satellite.
With VNREDSat-1, Vietnam has fully mastered small satellite technology, thus independently processing images of all regions belonging to the country’s territory.
With its own satellite, Vietnam can take satellite images at predefined locations and times for disaster monitoring, as well as ensuring timely warning to mitigate disaster risk.
In 2014, VNREDSat-1 satellite continued shooting and providing high-resolution optical images, assisting Vietnam in monitoring natural resources, environment, and preventing or minimising damage caused by natural disasters.
