Over almost 50 years of development, space
science and aerospace technology have been widely applied and brought about
practical efficiency in the development of economy, culture, education and
healthcare as well as the maintenance of security and defense of almost all
developed, and even developing countries. In this 21st century, some countries
have set higher objectives, i.e., building bases on the moon for exploitation
and transit of humans to the Mars.
The State of Vietnam has early been aware of the
importance of space science and aerospace technology. On December 27, 1979, the
Prime Minister issued Decision No. 454/CP, setting up Vietnam Space Research
Committee and assigned the Committee the task of preparing scientific contents
for the Soviet-Vietnam space flight. The flight took place successfully from
July 23 to 31, 1980, orbiting Vietnam's first astronaut Pham Tuan and Russian
astronaut V.V. Gorbatko to conduct some scientific tests in the space.
Over the past years, some achievements of space
science and aerospace technology have been applied in Vietnam, especially in
the domains of communications, hydrometeorology, remote sensing and satellite
positioning, etc. However, due to various subjective and objective reasons, the
scope and efficiency of aerospace technology research and application in
Vietnam remain limited, failing to meet the current and future requirements of
socio-economic development of the country.
With a view to boosting aerospace technology
research and application to practically and efficiently serve the national
industrialization and modernization as well as sustainable socio-economic
development, in mid-2002, the Prime Minister assigned the Vietnam Science and
Technology Institute to assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate
with the Ministry of Science and Technology and the concerned ministries and
branches in, elaborating a scheme titled "the strategy research into and
application of, aerospace technology up to 2020." On December 31, 2003,
with his Decision No. 272/2003/QD-TTg, the Prime Minister approved the strategy
on Vietnam's scientific and technological development till 2010, which affirms
that aerospace technology is a key technology.
The strategy on research into, and application
of, aerospace technology up to 2020 aims to identify objectives and contents
of, as well as solutions to, aerospace technology research and application up
to 2020 in service of the country's socio-economic development, and to assign
tasks of implementing the strategy to ministries, branches and localities.
The strategy is composed of 6 parts:
I. The world's situation of aerospace technology
development and application.
II. Vietnam's situation and demand of research
into, and application of, aerospace technology.
III. Viewpoints and objectives of the strategy.

VI. Organization of implementation
I. THE WORLD'S SITUATION OF
AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION
1. Major trends of aerospace
technology development and application
a/ Satellite technology has more and more
strongly developed and applied widely and efficiently. Thanks to satellites,
billions of people from different continents can now communicate with one
another or simultaneously and immediately follow up the world's ongoing
important events on TV or radio, etc. Satellites also give people in deep-lying
and remote areas opportunities to study, get medical treatment and communicate
with one another conveniently.
In telecommunications, there will emerge
high-performance communications satellites with many new services, especially
in relation to communication between objects flying in the outer space.
Images provided by remote sensing satellites are
getting perfect with higher spatial and spectral definition and less repetition
time. High- and super high-definition (of under 1 m) satellite images, which
had been earlier used only for military purposes, have now been commercialized
and used widely for different purposes.
Research satellites have become indispensable
instruments in astrophysics, meteoric physics and geophysics. The system of
satellites for observation of gravitational field of the earth, seawater level,
temperature or salinity of the seas has achieved a very high precision,
enabling the determination of daily changes of the oceans' surface. Special-use
satellites for observation of physical field of the earth and meteorological
parameters have more and more developed, creating a new instrument for research
of the earth science and global climate change.
Satellite positioning technology has achieved a
high precision with compact equipment and been applied in different domains
such as building of the grid board on the ground, maritime navigation,
aviation, land transport, guided weapons and observation of changes in the
earth's crust, etc. In some developed countries, satellite-positioning
equipment has been widely applied to personal means of transport.

b/ The integration of remote sensing technology,
geological information technology and satellite positioning technology has
enabled the digitalization of topographical measurement for the building of
environmental observation systems, early warning of natural disasters and
effective management of natural resources.
c/ The exploration of planets in the solar
system has achieved numerous important achievements thanks to the robots which
have landed and operated for months on the Mars to take photos and samples of
soil and rock, as well as the exploration flights to the Saturn and the
Mercury. Some countries are implementing plans on the moon exploration and
taking people to the Mars.
d/ Aerospace technology for military purpose
with different kinds of satellite such as meteorological satellites, image
reconnaissance satellites, signal reconnaissance satellites, communications
satellites, navigation positioning satellites and defense-aid satellites, etc.,
has become an indispensable important element to win modern-time wars.
2. Some countries' lessons on
aerospace technology development
Following Russia and the US, other countries
like China, the UK, France, Canada, Japan and India have early developed
aerospace technology and made remarkable achievements. Today, many developing
countries have also succeeded in approaching, mastering and efficiently
applying advances of aerospace technology to meet the requirements of economic
and cultural development as well as maintenance of national defense and
security. The following useful lessons for Vietnam may be drawn from experience
of other countries:
a/ First, the key to success in aerospace
technology research and application is the high determination of the country's
leaders to promote internal strengths, learn from experience of other countries
for aerospace technology research and development (R&D).
b/ Second, to boost international cooperation,
absorb experience and technologies for efficient, quick and sustainable
development. International cooperation in the aerospace technology may be organized
in different forms: bilateral, multilateral, regional or international. Member
countries of the European Space Agency (ESA) are executing the Galileo
cooperation project in service of positioning and navigation, which is
considered a counterweight to the global positioning system (GSP) of the US.
The project on cooperation in the construction of the international space
station (ISS), which is considered the most complicated and biggest project
ever in the history of aerospace technology development, is being underway.
c/ Third, the succeeding and developing
countries must select proper directions and appropriate steps in aerospace
technology research and application. Not every country has enough conditions to
research into such complicated and costly aspects of aerospace technology as
rocket propulsion, staffed spacecrafts or space stations, etc.
The steps of aerospace technology development in
the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, etc., constitute valuable
experience for development and application of aerospace technology in Vietnam.
The key here is to make investment in infrastructure of aerospace technology
and appropriate investment in research and international cooperation so as to
receive advanced technologies and concentrate on the construction of strong
aerospace technology centers, including research institutes and universities.

1. Situation of research into
space science and aerospace technology
Over the past 30 years, Vietnam has conducted
initial research activities in a number of aspects of the space science and
aerospace technology. These include research subjects on space physics and
aerospace technology under the scientific program of the Soviet-Vietnam space
flight, implemented in 1981 and 1982, and the state-level research program
48.07 on "application of research achievements and use of the outer
space," implemented in the 1981-1985 period. In addition to experimental
results, some scientific research works have been published in domestic and
foreign scientific and technical journals or reported at international
scientific symposiums.
In recent years, the State has invested in many
laboratories of the Vietnam Science and Technology Institute; the Military
Scientific, Technical and Technological Center; the Hanoi University of
Technology and the Hanoi National University, etc., for scientific and
technological research in such domains related to aerospace technology as
electronics-telecommunications, information technology, automation, materials
technology and solar energy. These laboratories will serve as subsequent
premises for the building of laboratories for aerospace technology research and
application in the coming period.
2. Situation of application
of aerospace technology in Vietnam
Vietnam has soon applied achievements of
aerospace technology in the domains of hydrometeorology, communications, remote
sensing and satellite positioning.
a/ Hydrometeorology
Meteorology is the first branch that has
approached aerospace technology and applied its achievements in practice.
During the seventieth of the twentieth century, the General Department of
Hydrometeorology installed APT station of URAL label, provided by the Soviet
Union, in order to receive cloud images from satellites and had, in fact, used
the station to receive cloud images from such satellites in polar orbits as
METEOR, TIROS, NOAA... Everyday, this station provided black and white photos
to serve the monitoring of cloud fields and movements of the eyes of
hurricanes. In the 1986- 1988 period, thanks to the UN-funded project VIE
80/051, the General Department of Hydrometeorology was equipped with 3
geostationary meteorological satellite (GMS) stations to receive cloud images,
which were based in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh city. However, by that time
the analysis of satellite images was conducted mainly through eyes. In 1997,
the General Department of Hydrometeorology was equipped with a high-definition
satellite image-receiving station, which was capable of receiving
multi-spectrographic images from GMS and NOAA satellites. These images, which
had much higher precision compared to the old ones, had contributed to raising
the quality of detection, monitoring and forecast of hurricanes and dangerous
climatic phenomena. Today, satellite information is being used as indispensable
materials in daily hydro-meteorological forecast and is particularly important
in case of bad or dangerous weather when the information and communication
system is often interrupted and observatory data given by normal methods cannot
be promptly provided to forecasting centers. Recently, numerical
value-forecasting methods based on satellite information as well as parallel
processing and calculation models have been applied, contributing to shortening
the forecasting time and increasing the precision of forecasts. The Vietnam
Science and Technology Institute has also manufactured and supplied
meteorological satellite image-receiving stations, which are cheaper than the imported
ones.
Though being the initial results, the
applications of aerospace technology in hydrometeorology in Vietnam have
created good premises for the use of achievements of aerospace technology to
better serve the performance of tasks of the domestic hydrometeorological
branch, and created conditions for Vietnam to join international efforts in
solving the problems of global meteorology of the world's particular concern
such as the depletion of ozone layers and the building of a system for early
warning of such natural disasters as earthquakes, tsunami, floods, storms, etc.
b/ Communications

In 1996, the Government assigned the General
Department of Post and Telematics to make a pre-feasibility study report for
VINASAT project- a project on hiring the manufacture and orbiting Vietnam's own
telecommunications satellites. In 1998, this report was approved. The General
Department of Post and Telematics filled in the procedures of registration with
ITU and started negotiations on the position of the orbit. The Corporation of
Post and Telecommunications completed the pre-feasibility study report, which
has been approved by the Government and is being implemented to enable Vietnam
to orbit its satellites by 2008. Besides the VINASAT project, over the past
years, the post and telecommunications industry has also organized training in
different forms so that the contingent of technicians will be capable of
undertaking professional jobs, which, in many developing countries, must be
undertaken by foreign consultants.
c/ Remote sensing
Observation of the earth from the space (called
remote sensing for short) is a specialized branch applying aerospace
technology, based mainly on the reception, processing and use of images of the
earth from satellites. Remote sensing was introduced in Vietnam in the
seventieth of the twentieth century with satellite images of different parts of
the Vietnamese territory, which were used first in forestry and geology, then
in agriculture, monitoring of the environment and natural calamities,
territorial planning, scientific research, etc. The application of remote
sensing has been extended with higher quality through the 1981-1985 state-level
research program on "application of achievements of research into, and
application of, outer space," coded 48-07.
To date, remote sensing-specialized agencies at
ministries, branches, localities, research institutes and universities have
numbered several dozens with hundreds of cadres who have gone through full-time
training at home and abroad. Remote sensing has become an instrument used
rather commonly in Vietnam in scientific research and a number of management
and production domains of such branches as topography, agriculture, fisheries,
natural resources and environment... Funded by the State, many units of the
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment such as the Remote Sensing
Center, the Cadastral Research Institute, the Geological and Mineral Research
Institute have conducted many subjects on remote sensing, aimed at raising the
quality and efficiency of basic surveys. Many scientific research works on
remote sensing application have been conducted at the Vietnam Science and
Technology Institute and some universities in such domains as oceanography,
ecology, earth science, research into natural resources and development
planning, etc.
For many years, Vietnam has collected many
remote-sensing satellite images from different sources at different time
points. However, so far we have only 2 sets of images covering the whole
Vietnamese territory (mainly the continent), collected at different time points
over a long period. Concretely: Project VIE 78/011 (1978-1982) and project VIE
83/004 (1984-1986) collected a set of LANDSAT images covering the whole
Vietnamese territory in the seventieth of the twentieth century. In 1995, 1997
and 2000, the 2000-2001 topographical remote-sensing project of the General
Land Administration also collected a set of SPOT images on the whole Vietnamese
territory. The lack of remote sensing materials and the existence of materials
of different types and different times have much restricted the effect of
application of remote sensing in reality.
To put an end to this situation and promote the
application of remote sensing in the management of natural resources and
environment, in 2004, the Prime Minister permitted the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Environment to build a satellite image-reception station and a
center for satellite image processing with a total ODA loan fund of around 20
million euro. When completed, the project will actively provide a source of
remote sensing material images.
d/ Satellite positioning
Satellite positioning is an important domain of
application of aerospace technology and will strongly develop, possibly be
applied more and more widely, especially in the domains of geodetics,
determination of coordinates, traffic control and management... In Vietnam,
land administration bodies have applied satellite-positioning technology to set
up the national grid board since the ninetieth of the twentieth century. This
technology has actually been accepted in production. The national grid boards
have been built in the most difficulty-hit regions of the Central Highlands,
Song Be and Minh Hai, as well as for Laos. From 1995 to 2000, the General Land
Administration built a GPS grid board of level "0", the VN-2000
national reference frame and coordinate system. Since 2000, the system of 6 fixed
positioning stations has been built in Hai Phong, Vung Tau, Dien Bien, Ha
Giang, Cao Bang and Da Nang to ensure high precision of positioning and
navigation throughout the Vietnamese territory and seas. To date, 5 stations
have been put into operation in service of marine and topographical
measurement, demarcation and plantation of Vietnam-China and Vietnam- Laos
border marker-post. Satellite positioning technology has also been applied to
observation of changes in the earth's crust and management of offshore fishing,
etc.
3. Necessity and urgency of
acceleration of aerospace technology research and application

Today, the trend of globalization and strong
integration, together with the quick and efficient development of such relevant
scientific and technological domains as information technology, mechanical
engineering, electronics, material technology... have been creating very
favorable conditions for acceleration of aerospace technology research and
application in our country.
However, because of the low level of the
country's socio-economic development and inadequate awareness of authorities
and branches about the role of aerospace technology, the research into, and
application of, aerospace technology remain scattered, lack orientations and
inter-branch coordination. At the moment, Vietnam has no national policy on
aerospace technology research and application. The state investment in this
domain remains modest, lacks concentration and thereby, yield little results.
At present, the infrastructure of aerospace technology is almost none, with a very
small and scattered contingent of personnel. Organizationally, Vietnam has no
national agency officially tasked to coordinate aerospace technology
application, R&D, thus failing to meet the practical demand. The said
situation, if not soon redressed, will lead to the danger that Vietnam will lag
far behind even the regional countries, will not be able to take advantage of
development potentials and opportunities as well as tremendous achievements
which may be brought about by aerospace technology, thereby contributing to
acceleration of industrialization and modernization, strengthening national
defense and boosting international integration.
To enable aerospace technology to contribute
most effectively to the cause of development and protection of the country,
especially in the current domestic and world situation, thus attaining the
objective of turning our country into an industrialized one by 2020, the
elaboration and efficient implementation of the strategy on research into, and
application of, aerospace technology up to 2020 is really necessary and urgent.
