The University of the Philippines (UP) is leading the way as
it has sets its eyes in training the second batch of Filipino satellite
builders through its Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute (EEEI).
The training will be under the Space Science Proliferation
through University Partnerships (STeP-UP Program), “at the core of which is the
UP EEEI’s Masters in Engineering program,” UP said.
“The STeP-UP Scholarship is a component of the
STAMINA4Space program, which aims to build a healthy and vibrant space
infrastructure in the country,” UP said.

“With the help of UP’s partner, the Kyushu
Institute of Technology (KyuTech), the first batch of STeP-UP scholars was
trained in the first ever Master’s in Engineering in Electrical Engineering
program, with a special focus on nanosatellite engineering, at the UP
Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute (EEEI). The pioneering class
used the knowledge they gained to create the first locally built nano- or cube
satellites, Maya 3 and 4,” it noted.
Maya 3 and 4 are planned to be handed over to
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for launching in February 2021.
“While barely being over a kilogram in mass
each, the satellites can contribute considerably to the country’s economic,
territorial, and disaster risk reduction efforts,” UP said.
The second batch of STeP-UP scholars will be
working on Maya 5 and Maya 6.
