Space technology - strategic technology
Held on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, and towards the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, the event is an important milestone, marking the tireless efforts over the past 10 years of the collective of experts and researchers of the Vietnam Space Center and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology to successfully implement a number of satellite projects and gradually master the technology.
"These results have contributed to affirming Vietnam's scientific research and technology development capacity in fields with high requirements for qualifications and expertise," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
In the context of a volatile and unpredictable world , many countries have stepped up investment in research and application of space technology to enhance their capacity and strategic competitive advantage.
Entering a new development stage, the Party and State have identified science and technology (S&T), innovation (ICT) and digital transformation (DCT) as key driving forces for rapid and sustainable development, helping the country overcome the middle-income trap and move towards the goal of becoming a developed, high-income country by 2045.
Accordingly, Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo and Decision No. 1131/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister promulgating the List of Strategic Technologies and Strategic Technology Products have identified space technology as a strategic technology, serving both socio-economic development and ensuring national defense, security and sovereignty in space.
After cutting the ribbon and visiting the Vietnam Space Museum, the Deputy Prime Minister worked with the Center's staff.
Taking note of recommendations related to institutions, policies, and strategies for the development of the space technology industry, especially the "bottlenecks" hindering the development of high-quality human resources and the implementation of key satellite projects, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology to synthesize the proposals and the Ministry of Science and Technology to preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to research and propose specific solutions to the Prime Minister and the Government.
Developing low-earth observation satellites 'Made in Vietnam'
To continue promoting the role of the Vietnam Space Center, the Deputy Prime Minister suggested focusing on a number of tasks.
Firstly, the Center and the Institute need to focus on implementing well the tasks in the "Strategy for development and application of space science and technology to 2030" and develop the strategic product of the "Made in Vietnam" low-orbit Earth observation satellite. In particular, it is necessary to note that scientific research projects and proposals must closely follow practical requirements and have a feasible roadmap.
Second, proactively connect with the national innovation ecosystem, especially the National Innovation Center (NIC) and institutes, schools, corporations, and pioneering enterprises in the field of space technology (such as Viettel, SpaceX, Amazon...).
Thereby, optimizing investment resources, taking advantage of specific policy mechanisms, connecting with experts and scientists to promote research activities, apply technology, and form competitive products and services to meet the country's development needs.
Third , focus on training and improving the professional qualifications of experts, researchers, and young scientists, forming strong research groups in the field of space science at the regional and international levels.
Fourth, promote international cooperation activities; prioritize cooperation with prestigious organizations and large research facilities; take advantage of resources, knowledge, and advanced technology to catch up, progress together, and advance in the field of space science.
Fifth, proactively upgrade and invest in new infrastructure and equipment according to international standards to meet the dynamic needs of research and development of satellite technology and products in the new context.
Sixth , promote communication and STEM education activities. In particular, the Vietnam Space Museum opened today must become a learning space, inspiring the young generation; must become a bridge between space science and technology and life.
On that basis, turn the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and the Vietnam Space Center into Vietnam's leading research, technology development and satellite manufacturing facilities, gradually becoming the leading research unit in the region and the world.
The Government pledges to always accompany and create favorable conditions for the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and the Space Center to perform well their assigned tasks, making practical contributions to the development of science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation of the country.
