The Philippines, being a disaster-prone country, relies on datasets from satellites for a multitude of remote-sensing applications. In response, its Department of Science and Technology (DOST) supported the Development of Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Microsatellite (PHL-MICROSAT) program with the aim to build, test and launch the Philippines' first earth observation satellite while developing capacity through deep, intensive study leading to the actual development of important satellite technologies. One of the paths that a team of students, instructors and engineers at the University of the Philippines (UP) Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute (EEEI) have taken is the development of nanosatellites and the formation of AMSAT-PHL. This paper describes some of the accomplishments of the team in the development of its own amateur satellite ground station and the roadmap for its nanosatellite development.
