The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) successfully launched two locally-built cube satellites (CubeSats)—Maya-5 and Maya-6—to the International Space Station (ISS) via the SpaceX Falcon 9 while on its 28th commercial resupply mission on June 5, 2023 at around 11:47 PM PST. According to the space agency, the Maya-5 and Maya-6 CubeSats were created as a technology demonstration and educational platform developed for remote data collection using Store-and-Forward (S&F) Mechanism. [caption id="attachment_338976" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Maya-5 and Maya-6 | Image/ STAMINA4Space[/caption] The said mechanism involves collecting data and then storing it until the satellite passes over a ground station, at which point the data is forwarded to the station for analysis. Maya-3 and Maya-4, which were the first cube satellites made by Filipinos, were launched to the International Space Station in August 2021 and returned to Earth a year later.
