Celebrate Philippine Space Week 2026 from 08 to 14 August 2026

The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) invites Filipinos nationwide to celebrate Philippine Space Week from 08 to 14 August 2026 through a nationwide lineup of activities that promote awareness, appreciation, and benefits of space for Filipinos.  

Established through Proclamation No. 302, s. 2023, Philippine Space Week commemorates the enactment of the Philippine Space Act on 08 August 2019. The annual celebration, held every August 8 to 14, promotes public awareness of space science, technology, and applications (SSTA), highlights the contributions of Filipinos to the space sector, and demonstrates how space-enabled innovations contribute to national development and improve the lives of Filipinos. These are evident in the fields of disaster resilience, environmental protection, agriculture, national security, and sustainable development.
