AdU STAR Lab

Thank you to the Professional Regulatory Board of Geology for visiting our lab!

A fruitful short discussion on how space technology, especially remote sensing, can assist geologists in their work, from mapping and monitoring changes on the Earth’s surface to understanding geological features, hazards, and processes.

Space technology is not only about exploring what is beyond Earth. It also gives us a better perspective for understanding the planet we live on.

🛰️ Sentinel-3C called home!

After liftoff and a journey to more than 825 km above Earth, Sentinel-3C has been gently pushed and is now separated from the launcher.

📡 Its telemetry signal has been received at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC), the solar panel has been deployed, and the satellite team is continuing preparations for further operations.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this successful launch! 🎉

🌍 Another great journey begins for Europe’s Earth observation - and another eye is now ready to monitor our changing planet.

‼️ TRAINING ALERT: TUKLAS for DRRM

The Philippine Space Agency invites government agencies, local government units (LGUs), academic institutions, the private sector, and other relevant organizations to participate in the Training and Upskilling through Knowledge-sharing, Learning, and Applications of Space Data (TUKLAS), with a focus on disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM).

The three-day training will be held from 17 to 19 November 2026 and will equip participants with practical knowledge and skills in using space science and technology, satellite imagery, and geospatial data to support DRRM.

Participation in the course is free of charge and limited slots are available, register now: bit.ly/philsatuklas

Registration will close once the target number of applications has been reached. Accepted participants will be notified via email.

For inquiries, email [email protected] with the subject [INQUIRY: TUKLAS Program for DRRM]

Help Shape the Future of Space Engineering Education in the Philippines

Adamson University is conducting a Feasibility Study for Offering a Space Engineering Program as we explore opportunities to prepare the next generation of engineers for the growing Philippine and global space sector.

We invite students, educators, industry professionals, space sector stakeholders, and other interested individuals to share their insights through this short survey. Your responses will help us assess the interest, relevance, and potential demand for a dedicated Space Engineering program.

From satellites and space systems to remote sensing, communications, artificial intelligence, and emerging space technologies, your input can help shape how we prepare future Filipino space engineers.

Participate in the feasibility study:

Please feel free to share this survey with your students, colleagues, and networks.

Together, let us help build the next generation of Filipino space engineers.

Today, the Project STArQE team of STARLab and MINERVA Lab had a courtesy visit and project update with the Makati City Government, bringing together representatives from different coordinating departments to discuss our ongoing work and the next steps for collaboration.

As one of the key stakeholders of Project STArQE, Makati City provides an important real-world setting for exploring how emerging technologies can support smarter, more sustainable, and more resilient urban planning.

During the meeting, our team shared updates on our work involving quantum-enabled optimization for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, urban heat island assessment, strategic placement of ground sensor terminals, typhoon forecasting for energy resilience, road traffic simulation and prediction, and digital twin technologies.

More importantly, the discussion allowed us to identify how these research efforts can move toward practical applications that respond to the needs and priorities of the city.

Project STArQE continues to bridge space technologies, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision support with real-world urban challenges.

Thank you to the Makati City Government and the different coordinating departments for the continued collaboration and support. We look forward to turning research into solutions that can contribute to a smarter, greener, and more resilient Makati City.
