The National Space Promotion, Awareness, and Capabilities Enhancement (SPACE) Development Program, simply known as the National SPACE Development Program (NSDP) is a government program of the Philippines set up to craft a policy for the country's space program and lay the foundation of a future dedicated space agency.[1] The program is made under the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) of the Department of Science and Technology.[2]

The NSDP was created on September 2015[3] but preliminary work of the team behind the National SPACE Development Program began in 2013 where it was determined that a dedicated space agency needs to be set up to manage the country's space program. Currently the space-related activities of the government are managed and maintained by several government agencies. In 2016, information regarding activities of the NSDP became more available to the public.[1]
