The Subic Bay Space Center (SCC) also known as the Subic Bay Teleport is a ground station at the Subic Bay Free Port in Morong, Bataan, Philippines. It is currently operated by ABS.[1][2]

The ground station was built in 1996 as the Mabuhay Satellite Space Center by the Mabuhay Philippines Satellite Corporation (MPSC), a consortium of Philippine telecommunications companies. It was built to manage the operations of Agila-1; the first Philippine-owned satellite.[3] In 2009, Mabuhay and Hong Kong-based ABS signed an agreement in which the former ceded all of its assets including the ground station and the Agila-2 satellite to the latter.[4][5][6]
