Philippines Biggest Satellite | MULA SATELLITE
The Philippines will be launching the satellite by 2023.
The MULA or (Multi-spectral Unit for Land Assessment) satellite will be Weighing at 130 kilograms, and can capture operational-quality images of approximately 100,000 square kilometers of land area daily.
The satellite will also be equipped with a TrueColour camera capable of capturing 5m resolution images with a wide swath width of 120 kilometers. MULA will utilize 9 spectral bands for a range of environmental applications including wide area disaster management, land use and land cover change mapping, crop monitoring, and forestry management. The satellite will also fly AIS (Automatic Identification System) and ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast) payloads for ship and aircraft detection and tracking.
The MULA satellite is a project implemented by the University of the
Philippines Diliman (UPD) and the DOST-Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) in
coordination with the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA).
The MULA satellite will be built by SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.), a company building satellites for 40 years now in the U.K.
The MULA satellite once in space will stay longer compared to its predecessor the Diwata 2.
