Diwata-1, the Philippines’ first microsatellite for scientific earth observation, again  captured high resolution images during the satellite’s test phase. Diwata-1’s High Precision Telescope (HPT), one of the four cameras onboard, obtained images with a ground resolution of 3m at nadir (or lowest point), the highest resolution attained so far by a microsatellite in the 50-kg class. This was announced recently by the Department of Science and Technology’s Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) and the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) which have been collaborating with Japan’s Hokkaido and Tohoku Universities for the operation of Diwata-1.
