(FACEBOOK/MANILA BULLETIN) The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) said that this is a priority agenda under the emerging technologies sector of providing space technology applications to public services. The ASP project funded by DOST and implemented by the University of the Philippines and the DOST-Advanced Science and Technology Institute in coordination with PhilSA is partnering with Surrey Space Technology Ltd (SSTL) for the design and manufacture of a multispectral satellite capable of imaging an approximate area of 100,000 km2 of the country daily. SSTL is a leader in developing commercial-grade earth observation satellites as well as delivering a Know-How Transfer and Training (KHTT) program that can aid in our capacity building efforts.
