The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (UPHSD) proudly celebrates its 50th founding anniversary with landmark achievements in space exploration and marine science\u2014reinforcing its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and global collaboration.<\/p>

In line with its golden jubilee theme, \u201cCelebrating Diversity, Altruism, Leadership, Technology, and Adaptability,\u201d UPHSD unveiled two pioneering projects that position the institution at the forefront of scientific advancement in the Philippines.<\/p>

Project DAGAT: A <\/strong>First-of-its-Kind Technology in the Philippine Tsunami Detection <\/strong><\/p>

Developed by UPHSD faculty and students in Las Pi\u00f1as, Project DAGAT (Deploying Acoustic Guardians: Advanced Tsunami Detection) is the first locally engineered system designed to detect tsunamis and storm surges. The device transmits real-time data via nanosatellite and terrestrial networks and is currently undergoing pilot testing in Cavite. The project took 2.5 years to develop and represents a major leap in disaster preparedness and marine research.<\/p>

Perpetual Satellite-1: UPHSD\u2019s Entry into Space<\/strong><\/p>

On October 26, 2025, UPHSD successfully launched its first nanosatellite, Perpetual Satellite-1, from Japan\u2019s Tanegashima Space Center aboard JAXA\u2019s H3 F7 rocket. Scheduled to enter low Earth orbit in early 2026, the satellite will collect imaging data for marine traffic monitoring, greenhouse gas detection, and tsunami surveillance\u2014complementing Project DAGAT\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>

Perpetual Satellite-1 is the first nanosatellite launched by a private Philippine university under the ASEANSAT Consortium, in partnership with Universiti Teknologi MARA (Malaysia), King Mongkut University of Technology North Bangkok (Thailand), and Kyushu Institute of Technology (Japan).<\/p>
