Maya-1

The nanosatellite was expected to stay in orbit for less than a year only, but it had stayed in orbit for about 2 years and 4 months.

Deployed into the 600-km Sun-Synchronous Orbit on October 29, 2018, Diwata-2 is the country’s third satellite sent to space, following the 50-kg micro-satellite Diwata-1 (deployed to space April 27, 2016) and the 1-kg nano-satellite Maya-1 (deployed on June 29, 2018).

The country's first cube satellite (CubeSat), named Maya-1, was successfully launched to the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, June 29.

The project is being implemented by the PHL-Microsat Program of the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman in cooperation with the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) of the DOST and the Kyushu Institute of Technology.
