Filipino Space Agency Develops Domestic Launch Capabilities
The Philippines is advancing its domestic launch capabilities through a training program with South Korean space mobility company Perigee Aerospace, in preparation for the launch of a liquid-fueled rocket in 2027. The training, which is part of the Philippine Space Agency’s (PhilSA) SIKLAB project, provides hands-on experience for PhilSA personnel in rocket assembly, systems integration, and test launch preparation. The launch aims to demonstrate the country’s domestic launch capabilities and potentially attract foreign investments, as reported by the Philippine Space Agency.
