NanoDragon is a 3U CubeSat built by the Vietnam National Satellite Center (VNSC). NanoDragon will use its automatic identification system (AIS) receiver to monitor vessels, and will also test the accuracy of its attitude control using an optical imager. It carries an advanced OBC (on board computer) developed by Japan's Meisei Electric.

Although NanoDragon was successfully launched, the ground stations unable to contact with the satellite.
