The funds also aim to help Japanese companies secure business related to a planned satellite launch by Vietnam, such as satellite manufacturers <strong>NEC<\/strong> and <strong>Mitsubishi Electric<\/strong>.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In April, the Japanese government earmarked funding for the development program and announced plans to export five to 10 satellites by 2016. Japanese Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara said his country plans to send a delegation of government and corporate officials to Mongolia and Cambodia in February in the hope of winning satellite-related business.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cWe had previously opposed disbursing funds for satellite projects on the grounds that these programs should primarily serve the goal of eradicating poverty. After seeing the contracts awarded in Europe to French and Belgian firms, we have shifted our position and believe that the government should help to promote Japanese infrastructure exports,\u201d Maehara said in a statement.<br \/>\nMaehara added that Japan is planning more extended low-interest, yen-based loans to emerging economies in the near future.<\/p>\n<h2>\nRelated Stories-<\/h2>\n<p>\n<b class=\"titlelink\">BSat-3b Broadcasting Satellite Enters Service Over Japan<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tDecember 13, 2010<br \/>\n[12-13-10] The BSat-3b  broadcasting satellite is operational following on-orbit deployment and  checkout of all spacecraft systems, Lockheed Martin announced Dec. 10.
