3.5t / GTO (2028+)

This is the headline news, means launching communication satellites to geostationary orbit. Means we can launch any payload to lower orbits, including manned crew vehicles. This is when we establish ourselves as a space faring nation.

This kind of launch probably needs to be made from an overseas location.

Amazing🔥🔥🔥
China is slowly catching up to Elon Musk's SpaceX
We may soon see Chinese-made Falcon rockets derivatives

Turkey needs to learn from the Chinese

To think that they bridged the gap this easily..... damn!
Soon, Reusable rockets will revolutionise the Space industry and I hope Rocketsan isnt turning a blind eye towards such developments

Don't get yourself too hyped. SpaceX did way more advanced stuff than these small jumps more than a decade ago

BAYKAR Chairman of the Board of Directors Selçuk Bayraktar:

💢 We will launch our first satellite with Fergani in 2025.

💢 What is new here is that we are developing low orbit constellations entirely with our own resources.


In the recent years, We have seen quite a few Turkish firms and start ups enter into space Industry. Plan-S, Hello Space and Fergani comes to mind. This news is from Today. We have something to talk to every week in our space industry. Satellites like Imece and Turksat 6A are our designs that are equivalent to designs likes of Airbus and Mitsubishi. PRC is huge country with over 1.4 billion population. They can afford many failures, Our space industry growing and catching up with the European firms which is what matters No need to shoot for the moon and fail miserable. We need to make profit from this industry, This firms are not charity. When these firms reach certain size then we might adventure into more risky projects.

SpaceX is in its own league and they are two decades ahead of their closest competition. Space is one of the fields that the Chinese won't be overtaking the US(at least the launch business).

SpaceX Starship won't have any competition for a long time. Even the Falcon Heavy class reusable rocket is years away for the Chinese.

They said the same thing about electric car and yet now china is the biggest exporter of electric car.

The gap is widening, not closing. And space is an entirely different paradigm. The US will lead it for many decades to come. Your prediction would be true if there was no SpaceX.

Many countries will pay china to launch their satellites if they cost half or much less than space x.

China has better chance of landing astronots on the Moon next year than outcompeting SpaceX.

Don't bet against the chinese.
Even though I'm not exactly like China yet I must admire and respect what they achieved in short times.

SpaceX’s frequency of launches guarantees price competitiveness. Reusable boosters is a bonus. In September of this year they launched 10 rockets, last month it was 9. With universal busses, small universities with small grants can now take up a Starlink mission rideshare for their cubes.
Open source info gives most recent commercial launches for Long March family at $12k per kilo. For Falcon it’s about 3k. 4 times cheaper.

By latest numbers, China sent about 40 Long Marchs this year, while SpaceX sent about 80 Falcons.

China is rapid in its development, noone can deny this. But it’s much more than that. All can agree however this competitiveness is good for business.

DEMİRKAZIK-I is a lab scale hybrid rocket motor with 360N thrust using paraffin-based fuels and N2O oxidizer. On November 12, 2023, as Yıldız Rocket Team, we conducted the twenty ninth static fire test of our hybrid rocket motor project DEMİRKAZIK-I. This test was carried out to optimize the feed line and improve the performance. We continue to work on improving our hybrid motor in line with the data we have received.
