The Space Technology and Applications Mastery, Innovation and Advancement (abbreviated and stylized as STAMINA4Space) is a space technology program by the Philippine government.[1] It is considered as the successor program to the Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Microsatellite (PHL-Microsat) program, a cooperation between the Philippine government and Japanese universities to develop microsatellites.[2] The program is funded under the Department of Science and Technology.

It aims to use the results from the PHL-Microsat program to further research and develop small satellite technology capability in the country.[3]

STAMINA4Space Program officially succeeded the PHL-Microsat program in August 2018, inheriting two satellites, Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 and the CubeSat Maya-1.[4][5]
