We will teach them how to control a satellite, how to process data from it, how to establish amateur ground receiving stations to be used in communication," said Shielo Muta, Chief Science Research Specialist of PhilSA's Space Mission Control and Operations Division, in an interview with the Philippine News Agency last Wednesday. The aforementioned projects undertake the ground facilities’ data processing, distribution, and operations for the Filipino small satellites, namely Diwata-2, Maya-2, Maya-3, and Maya-4. These also interface, respectively, with the Asian Microsatellite Consortium (AMC) for the sharing of satellite data and ground infrastructure, and the Joint Global Multi-Nation Birds Satellite (BIRDS) Network for nanosatellite development and operations. Meanwhile, two satellite projects are currently in the works for the Philippines. Maya-5 and Maya-6, the cube satellite (cubesat) set which preliminary design review had been presented as of 2021, would be targeted for launch this year. Multispectral Unit for Land Assessment (MULA), on the other hand, would be on track to be the heaviest Filipino satellite yet at 130 kilograms. In comparison, it would be heavier than Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 combined. The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) has revealed that the Philippines is gearing up for its next generation of satellites.
