Vietnams first telecommunications satellite VINASAT-1 was successfully launched from the Kourou spaceport in Guyana on April 19, 2008 into the orbit at 132 degrees east and was officially put into service in a safe and effective manner on May 22, 2008. This marked a great turning point for Vietnams telecommunications and information technology. It is also served as a base to continue to do research and consider launching many more satellites in the future. Thu Ha writes.
The successful launch of the satellite VINASAT-1 was also a memorable landmark in the process of the countrys development and integration.
Since its successful lift-off, the satellite has been operating stably and its actual parameters have equalled or exceeded the design indexes.

Following the Final Acceptance Review (FAR) successfully held on May, the control of Star One C2 telecommunication satellite has been transferred to Star One and is now operational in geostationary orbit at 70° West. This satellite, designed and built by Thales Alenia Space, is equipped with 28 transponders in C-band, 16 in Ku-band as well as an X-band payload for military exclusive use.
Star One C2 is dedicated to the Brazilian satellite operator Star One, owned by Embratel (80%) and GE International Holdings (20%). This satellite will reinforce Star One's strategic position as the major regional operator in Latin America.

Provisional parameters at injection of the cryogenic upper stage (ESC-A) were:
Perigee: 249.6 km for a target of 249.7 km (±4)
Apogee: 35,928 km for a target of 35,928 km (±240)
Inclination: 2.00 degrees for a target of 2.00 degrees (±0.06°)
