To continue the project through next year, the PhilSA has allotted P828 million which, once approved by Congress, would be part of the 2023 national budget.

Once in orbit, the Mula satellite can detect air and water quality, determine abundant fishing grounds, zoom in on traffic situations in cities and urban centers, and detect the presence of ships in the county’s territorial waters. The Mula satellite-building team is led by the University of the Philippines and the Department of Science and Technology-Advanced Science and Technology Institute, in coordination with the PhilSA and with the help of the UK firm Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.
