The Philippine Earth Data Resource and Observation Center, also known as the PEDRO Center is an organization tasked in operating satellite ground stations.. It is part of the Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Micro-satellite (Phil-Microsat) program by the Department of Science and Technology, which includes the deployment of the Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 microsatellites.
The satellite is named Multispectral Unit for Land Assessment (MULA). [4] MULA would be the first of a "next-generation satellites" under the Philippine space program, with the team behind the satellite building on the knowledge gained in developing the Diwata and Maya nanosatellites. [5] The investment cost for the satellite is at least US$34 ...
The first satellite under the PHL-Microsat program Diwata-1, the first satellite designed and assembled by Filipinos, with cooperation from Hokkaido University and Tohoku University. [27] One of the major goals of the PHL-Microsat program is to boost the progress on the creation of the Philippine Space Agency . [ 28 ]
