Philippine made weather satellite codenamed Diwata to launch in April 2016

The Philippines will take its first step into space with the launch of the Philippine Microsat Diwata 1 satellite this April.

Developed by a team of Filipino scientists currently undertaking their Masteral program in Tohoku and Hokkaido universities in Japan. The micro-satellite is their thesis!. The balikbayan box-sized Diwata 1 will transmit multi-spectrum images of the Philippines to a ground receiver in Subic to aid in weather forecasting, disaster response and mitigation, and even crop monitoring.

The Department of Science and Technology's Dr. Carlos Primo David says that the name "Diwata"—a fairy-like creature from Philippine mythology—is apt.

"It symbolizes our hopes and dreams to launch our own satellite. (In a way) it's very magical for the scientists and engineers that will be using it," he told GMA News' Victoria Tulad.

Diwata will be able to capture up to 3,600 images daily using a High Precision Telescope and a Spaceborne Multispectral Imager. These photos can be used for disaster preparedness and response, environmental conservation and analysis as well as security purposes among others.

It will most probably hitch a ride to the International Space Station (ISS) on Japan’s H-IIB space launch system. From the ISS, Diwata will then be placed in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Diwata is one of two micro-satellites the Philippines. It is expected to improve weather forecasting, disaster management, forest protection and other public services. The second one, PHL-Microsat-2, will be launched in 2017. It has not been given a nickname yet.

Diwata is part of the Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Micro-Satellite (PHL-Microsat) Program which aims to send two micro-satellites in space. It is headed by the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research which is under the Department of Science and Technology. Joel Marciano leads the program.

Marciano and DOST Undersecretary Cristina Guevara expressed their wish for Congress to pass the bill that will establish the Philippines’ space agency.

Diwata will be controlled in a ground station named Philippine Earth Data Resources Observation (PEDRO) Center which will be situated in the Subic Freeport.

The University of the Philippines Diliman will also have a research laboratory dedicated to improving the Philippines’ micro-satellite program.

The program is also supported by the Japan Space Exploration Agency (JAXA) as well as the two universities mentioned above. Aside from training 10 Filipino students in creating and operating micro-satellites, they will also shoulder more than ₱500 Million or the ₱840.82 Million of the program’s budget. 

Japan is aiming to create a constellation of micro-satellites within the East and Southeast Asia region and establish Asian Microsatellite Consortium (AMC) together with neighboring countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.

In late 90's Agila 1 and Agila 2  are satellites which were bought by Filipino entities (companies) but weren't made by Filipinos.

Agila 2 has been sold to Hong Kong based Asia Broadcast Satellite, Ltd. in 2009 while Agila 1 is currently providing telecommunications services to some Filipino companies.

How to Recover Shortcut Virus and Hidden Files in USB/Memory-Card/HDD

How to solve Folders Showing as Shortcuts, Hidden in USB/Memory-Card/HDD

By connecting flash drives to the affected computer, often it shows flash drive containing just some folder's shortcuts. Sometimes it shows nothing though drive's properties show it has files in it. Even we get some inaccessible folder or file. This type of problem may also seen in our local drives (HDD partitions). Even paid anti-virus is unable to resolve those folders, they just scan and detect The AUTORUN worm which one will execute all programs. Then our important files remain hidden.    Hidden folders and Shortcuts by the Autorun Worm like brontok it hides the original file then create a shortcut with a code of it self for them to be executed.Some thread of that virus download its other parts from some websites for them to be complete.

To remove such virus follow the steps:

1. Open administrative command prompt.
   
2. Go to your pen-drive drive letter. Suppose your USB disk is F:. Type F: and press Enter
   
3. Now type the below command to remove system file, hidden read-only attribute
4. attrib -s -h -r /s /d *.*
   
5. Delete Autorun.inf from USB – Disk.
   
6. This makes all files visible and you are now able to delete them .
7. del *.lnk
8. Now to remove the shortcuts from pen-drive , Check the size of any One or Few Shortcuts, all be same.
9. Delete suspicious files, on errror check task manager for process with same name or any suspicious process and end it.
10. Open Explorer and right Click on Pen-drive , Click Open.
11. Search with Advance Search for all files of same size in Pen-drive.
12. Select All and Delete

OK then open Drive in new window and Check “autorun.inf”  If you found,then Remove it. Now you can see one Folder. open it (the folder most of the time has no name or _ )


Here we will see how can we solve this problem by using command line and batch file. Though the batch file is nothing but the executable file contains command lines. So solving the hidden and shortcut problem of USB or drives, we must have the administrator privilege as we will execute something.

Using Command line: To solve/fix the folder's hidden or system file, the easiest way is to run a command line. You can apply this command to USB and local drive as well, need to change the drive_letter.  Suppose your USB disk is F:. Type F:
Go to Run, type cmd and hit enter. In command prompt just type:
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d drive_letter:\*.* 
And hit enter.

Be sure you've typed the drive letter (e.g. j:,h: or D:) instead of "drive_letter" in the command line. My USB drive letter is F: and my command should looks like:    Command for unhide system-hidden files on a drive All files and folders will be normal and you should be able to delete the shortcuts, created by the virus.

Command line details: Here atrib=attribute, "-"=remove attribute/permits, h=hidden s=system, r=read-only, a=archive, /s=sub directory, /d=directory, drive_letter=the letter of the drive shown in windows explorer (e.g. j:,h: or D:) and *.* is called the wild card for all files.If you don't like to be a "command Ninja" then see below. 

USB, MicroSD, MiniSD or other Memory Cards issue:
1. Connect your USB or memory card to the PC or laptop.     
2. Copy these lines and paste it into a "new text file"  @echo off attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d drive_letter:\*.*
3. In the 3rd line give the drive letter name (Example: F orJ or K or L etc.) instead of "drive_letter"
4. Save the text file as any_name.bat
5. Double click on the any_name.bat file and it will run in the command prompt and see the hidden files/folders come back. 

6. Delete the shortcuts and unnecessary files and folders from USB drive.

Local drive hidden file issue: 
1. Copy these lines and paste it into a "new text file" 

@echo off 
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d D:\*.*
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d E:\*.*
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d F:\*.*
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d G:\*.*
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d H:\*.*
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d I:\*.*
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d J:\*.*
@echo complete. 

2. Save the text file as a bat file (example: any_name.bat) 
3. Run this bat file by double-clicking on it. Thus you can solve this kind of problems with a *.bat file. You can save the *.bat file for solving this hidden problem. 

Important: These tutorials are applied for Windows 7/Vista/xp nad the latest Windows 10. You must have the administrative privilege to run the command or execute the .bat file. Put the " : " after the j, k, or D (drive letters). These commands are not case sensitive.

well i use software if your are lazy doing command prompt http://www.blogmytuts.net/2013/01/attribute-changer.html
