The Space program of the Philippines is being maintained by several government agencies under the Department of Science and Technology. Among these agencies are the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council The Department of Science and Technology and the Manila Observatory has crafted a 10-year masterplan in 2012 with the goal of making the Philippines a "space-capable country" by 2022. Efforts to establish a Philippine space program dates as early as in the 1960s, when US President Lyndon Johnson discussed with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos in 1966 about the possibility of establishing a joint US-Philippine space program, primarily for the purpose of monitoring storm conditions in Asia. If such plans pushed through it would have been the first time Asians get involved in space activities. ==Satellite Program== Mabuhay Philippines Satellite Corporation acquired Indonesian satellite Palapa B-2P from Pasifik Satelit Nusantara. The satellite was moved to a new orbital slot in August 1, 1996. The satellite is renamed Mabuhay and became the first satellite in orbit to be owned by the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://weebau.com/satellite/P/palapa%20b2p.htm )〕 The Philippines launched its first satellite Agila-2, with assistance of China. The communication satellite was launched through the Long March 3B at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in August 19, 1997. The Department of Science and Technology plans to send Diwata, the country's first microsatellite in July 2016 in cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The effort is part of the country's disaster risk management program. A receiving station will also be built in the country. In October 2014, 10 scientists were sent to Tohoku University and Hokkaido University in Japan by the DOST to study and research on the making of a microsatellite. Another microsatellite will be developed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Space program of the Philippines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
