The Philippines has officially joined the ranks of nations committed to the peaceful and transparent exploration of outer space after signing the Artemis Accords, a landmark international agreement outlining principles for responsible space activity.
The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) represented the country in the signing ceremony, held on the sidelines of the Asean Leaders’ Summit in Kuala Lumpur.
The Accords, established under the US-led Artemis Program, aim to promote cooperation, interoperability, and data sharing among countries engaging in space missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond.
