Our Place in Space
Volume 1
Space Data Mobilization
Volume 1: Space Data Utilization provides examples of actual, real-world end use of spaceborne data,
i.e. the downstream space segment, in the Philippines across various domains. Data from space can help
uplift our condition and better our lives through data-driven and evidence-based policies. Amidst
concerns in food security, satellites are able to gather relevant data through remote sensing of
agricultural crops, watersheds, fisheries, forests and other natural resources. Through satellite
connectivity, space can bridge Filipinos and our communities, especially the underserved or unserved
populations in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA). In promoting better health
services amidst the lack of health workers, satellite coverage enables medical and public health
services,
through telemedicine.
Our country has been an active user of downstream of satellites and space. That is, the utilization of
and
the applications arising from the data generated by satellites, such as images and other spaceborne
data. This is a valuable endeavor since the downstream is expected to largely account for the growth of
the space sector and therefore its contributions to the economic growth of nations. Data and the
resulting actionable information and intelligence is the currency of the knowledge economy. The use
cases in this Volume focus on the application of satellite images to generate actionable information
across applications such as disaster risk management, agriculture and fisheries, natural and built
environment monitoring, defense and security, and planning and econometrics .
