(VOVworld) - Vietnam expects to launch two new satellites in 2019 to help boost agricultural production and minimize natural disaster impact. Deputy Director of the National Satellite Center, Vu Anh Tuan, says the 600 million dollar project is expected to save 150 million dollars per year from disaster resilience activities: “We try to master satellite control technology in natural disaster impact mitigation. We expect to save 10% of disaster costs annually, or 150 million dollars. Vietnam now only has two telecom and observation satellites.”
