PH to launch biggest satellite in 2023

The project is being implemented by scientists and engineers of the University of the Philippines Diliman and the DOST-Advanced Science and Technology Institute , in coordination with the Philippine Space Agency .The Philsa will oversee its completion and launch in 2023, as well as the satellite’s management and operation.

Mula’s design is based on SSTL’s TrueColour earth-observation satellite, capable of capturing 5-meter resolution images with a swath width of 120 kilometers—an improvement from Diwata-2’s cameras, which have a 54-m spatial resolution with a field of 90 km.

“We can think of this spacecraft as a Filipino astronaut tasked to take images of our natural resources while monitoring aircraft and ship activity in our country at the same time,” said Labrador, who also worked on Diwata-1 and Diwata-2.
