Vietnam is a member of the "rocket club": launched its own military missile
As indicated, during the 2012-2015 years, a group of scientists from the Military Technical Academy, the Academy of Sciences and Technologies, the Aerospace Association of Vietnam and the National Satellite Center was engaged in the framework of the VT / TLĐ / 14-15 project, which aimed to develop its own launch vehicle . This led to a test run of the prototype three-stage prototype, designated the TV-01. He reached a height of 4000 meters.
As officially stated, the ultimate goal of this program was to create a small satellite launch facility designed to monitor the Earth's surface and support telecommunications.
