The Vietnam National Space Centre (VNSC) under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology reported that Japan’s Epsilon rocket is expected to launch NanoDragon from the Japanese southern prefecture of Kagoshima.
The rocket will carry nine satellites, including Vietnam’s NanoDragon and 8 others made by Japan. NanoDragon is expected to be launched into orbit at the height of about 560km.
The satellite is the product of a project to design, manufacture, launch and test operation of a nano-sized microsatellite under the national space science and technology program in the 2016-2020 period.
