1. Introduction 2. Space Seed Experiment and Parabolic Flight

Experiment in Vietnam 3. Plan for future 4. Summary

Fundamental and advance researches related to space science and technology

Researching and developing small satellite technology

Planning and implementing independent science technology programs involving space technology.

• Raising awareness about space science and technology nationwide

• Promotion of the studies related to space environment in Vietnam.

• Taking advantages of international cooperation to stimulate the initiatives related to Kibo utilization and the researches in micro-gravity condition or space environment.

• SSAF/AHiS

Resource: SSAF-2013 remained seeds Participants: more than 200 pupils at secondary school. Time schedule: during world Space Week 4-10 Oct, 2014

- Observe and assess the differences of growth between ground and space seed and evaluate the impact of gravity and microgravity. - Building idea about application of space science in biology for both secondary school students and teachers. - Disseminate knowledge to the society about the SSAF and Kibo-ABC program

- Pupils were stimulated to discover space science with SSAF program. - Both pupils and teachers conducted the experiment with zero gravity condition for the first time. - Confirmation of the success of Kibo utilization for Asian benefits in scientific research and education.

• SSAF/AHiS

Parabolic Flight Experiment: • Collaboration between JAXA, VAST, STI, UET • 4 students and 1 advisor were sent to Japan for parabolic flight. • 2 flights in 25-26 Dec, 2013 with 2 attendees : - Mr. Thai Cong Khanh - Mr. Vu Tien Tung • Report submitted to JAXA in Mar 2014.

• SSAF/AHiS

Parabolic Experiment Contest: • Encourage and stimulate initiatives related to

hyper and zero gravity conditions • Show students clips and reports about

Parabolic Experiment

Parabolic Experiment Contest

• Space talk

• Potential institutes/ organizations

• Kibo provides extensive opportunities for space environment utilization.

• The supports from Jaxa is needed and plays a crucial role in conducting scientific, medical, and educational experiments related to SEU in Vietnam.

• We hope to have chance to change experience among member countries and propose initiatives about Kibo utilization.

• Enhance the dissemination of knowledge about Kibo and its utilzation to the society.
