About 25 minutes after being launched, the O Ruler Bridge separated from the Truong Chinh 4C missile and entered orbit between the Earth and the Moon, with the closest distance to our planet, 200 km and the longest distance. is about 400,000km. Solar panels and information transmitting antennas have also been deployed.

According to calculations, the O Du Bridge satellite will go into the halo around the Lagrangian 2 point in the orbit between the Earth and the Sun, our planet about 455,000 km. If successful, this will be the first communication satellite in the world operating in this orbit.
