How much space junk is there?
Almost 50,000 trackable things in orbit, and growing. We launch 10 new things/day, and 3 re-enter. Plus 40 tons of space rocks hit Earth daily.
Excellent new summary chart from ESA - European Space Agency.

SPACE LEADER! 🚀🇵🇭

“This paper highlights how space becomes less ‘out of reach’ when we bring it to communities, when we talk about it, and when we see how it shapes our everyday lives.”

DOST scholar and Iloilo Science and Technology University (ISAT U) graduate Dave Loui A. Gumarang has been named one of only 40 International Astronautical Federation Emerging Space Leaders worldwide for 2026.

A DOST JLSS Merit Scholar and BS Mechanical Engineering graduate, Gumarang was selected from more than 300 students and young professionals worldwide after a competitive review process.

The recognition grants him fully funded participation in the International Astronautical Congress in Antalya, Türkiye, from October 5 to 9, 2026, covering airfare, accommodation, per diem, registration, and related activities.

Gumarang will also present his paper on democratizing space education through local applications and youth-led grassroots outreach in the Philippines.

Beyond the recognition, he founded the ISAT U Space Society and the Iloilo Space Organization, helping bring space science closer to Filipino communities.

From Iloilo to the global space community, his journey shows how Filipino scholars can help make space science more accessible.

Padayon, Future Filipino Space Leaders! 🚀🇵🇭

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:
