NASA could choose Ho Chi Minh City to install its third space centre, said Michael F. O’ Brien, Associate Administrator for International and Interagency Relations of NASA, at a meeting with the management board of the Saigon Hi-Tech Park Training Centre on Tuesday.
USAID was searching for a location in Southeast Asia to install the third space centre.
NASA suggests that Vietnam should focus on improving high-tech infrastructure and human resources who are able to analyze and process images and data obtained from satellites because there will be a fierce competition among Southeast Asian, O’ Brien said.
NASA is expected to announce its decision next year.
