In the course of its scientific earth observation mission, Diwata-1 has made a significant contribution to the advancement of Philippine space technology. The microsatellite has provided Filipino researchers with the capability to conduct hands-on and in-depth mission planning, design, integration, testing, and operation of an earth observation satellite, as it served as a platform for technology demonstration and experimentation.
“To date, more than 100 individuals have been trained on various technical aspects of small satellites and related technologies. Through efforts on the localization of relevant small satellite components and systems, the STAMINA4Space program is also extending its reach to local companies and the private sector toward building a viable domestic space industry sector,” the agency said.
The microsatellite was launched into space on March 23, 2016 via Atlas-V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida and was deployed into orbit from the International Space Station on April 27, 2016.
