cm 3 and weighs approximately one kilogram, aims to collect data from the ground sensor terminals and transmit them to a ground control system. Maya-1 also has an automatic packet radio service digipeater, allowing it to communicate with leg-presses. It also has two cameras to capture images for research purposes.
Inside Maya-1's body is a low-cost global positioning system (GPS), and a device that could measure the magnetic field in the space. Maya-1 can also record incidents of data corruption due to space radiation.
LAUNCH. The Department of Science and Technology – Advanced Science and Technology Institute comes from UP Diliman's Maya-1 launch in space on June 29, 2018.
The Spacecraft Carrying Maya-1 2,700 kilograms of supplies and scientific equipment. Space Station crew members will unpack the load when the freighter arrives at the lab in the early morning Monday morning, 2 July (US time).
Maya 1 is one of three cubic satellites as part of the world's second joint multi-national bird project or the BIRDS-2 project of the Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan. Other CubeSats join Maya-1, including BHUTAN-1 from Bhutan and UiTMSAT-1 from Malaysia
Maya-1 will be in orbit in August.
Maya-1 belongs to the family of satellites produced by the Microsatellite of Earth Observation Science of the Philippines (PHL-Microsat), a research program jointly implemented by the 39, University of the Philippines Diliman and Technology-Advanced Science and Technology Institute. PHL-Microsat has already been launched in the space Diwata-1 and Diwata-2
