Inc. Makes MicroSat Happy Campers
Inc. Magazine takes their job of naming the 5,000 fastest-growing businesses seriously! You can’t even be considered for their list unless you’ve had a three year sales growth of at least 46.1 percent… and MicroSat Systems has not only been considered for this list, but they’ve MADE the list! This is the first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000 is an extension of the publication’s annual “Inc. 500” list and catches many of the businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as many smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies are the backbone of the U.S. economy. “Leveraging off our core military satellite business base over the past three years, as well as the launch and success of our first satellite, helped to fuel this fast sales growth,” said Todd Mosher, Ph.D., Director of Advanced Systems. “We hope to continue an upward trajectory as we branch out into the commercial and NASA satellite market segment.”—New York, New York—August 31, 2007 -

The Vietnam Telecom International Company (VTI) has set up the Vinasat Satellite Information Centre to manage and operate satellite-operating stations. Back in June of this year, the Minister of Post and Telematics for the government of Vietnam, Do Trung Ta, visited the U.S. He wanted to review the manufacturing process for the Vinasat satellite at the Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems group who won the bid to provide the satellite, launching service and other equipment for the Vietnamese Vinasat satellite project. Telesat of Canada is supervising the actual satellite construction. All was on schedule with the assembly to occur between August and October of 2007. The Vietnam Telecom International Company has now established the Vinasat Satellite Information Center. This group will manage and operate the ground stations for the satellite. The first mission of this new center is to oversee the installation of two operating stations in Ha Tray province in the north, and Binh Duong province in the south, and to train staffs to operate the Vinasat satellite. The launch will occur next March 28th at the Kourou launch pad in French Guiana. Coverage for the satellite will include Vietnam, Southeast Asia, China, North Korea, India, Japan and Australia. Expect various services to be offered, from private channel leasing, mobile broadcasting and DTH TV to video conferencing and secure data transmission—Vietnam—August 31, 2007
