The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) is the organization within the government of the Philippines that sends satellites and other objects into outer space.

Beginning

PhilSA was made by Republic Act No. 11363 that became a law in August 8, 2019.^[2]

The Philippines did some space projects before PhilSA became an official organization. Philippines’ Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) put the first Filipino-made object into orbit, DIWATA-1, in 2016. The second was Agila 2 in 2018.^[2]

Site

The buildings and other things for PhilSA are scheduled to be finished in 2022. In 2020, it operates in the Clark Special Economic Zone in Pampanga and Tarlac, which used to be an American air base.^[2]
