METU by Turkish officials in ivmer researchers first developed in Turkey Radiation Meter, Probe Rocket ROKETSAN that sprang from Sinop Test Center has successfully completed its tasks in space travel that come with two 0.1.
Following his research at the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN), he continued his studies at the Middle East Technical University (METU). Dr. One of the wise Demirköz developed under the leadership of seven people with ROKETSAN by teams of university-industry cooperation in Turkey's Radiation Meter critically important space travel with more equipment were nationalized.
Providing information to the AA correspondent on the subject, Prof. Dr. Demirköz explained that the METU Space and Accelerator Technologies Application and Research Center (İVMER) started working on the Particle Radiation Test Infrastructure Installation Project in 2015, within the scope of the capabilities needed in the space field.
Demirköz, Turkey's earth observation satellite carried out by IMEI for the development of satellite systems will be needed for Infrastructure Project, the European Space Agency for space radiation testing (ESA) in order to make the protons in the standard of METU-Scattering Harness Line (SDH) voiced established. Demirköz, Ministry of Strategy and Budget Directorate funded the project, Turkey's Energy, Nuclear and Mining Research Institute (Tenma) Nuclear Energy Research Institute in Saraykoy (Nukan) said that carrying out the study using proton infrastructure Accelerator Facility.
Turkey's first Particle Radiation scope of the project Testing Infrastructure with METU-SDH that opened on December 5, 2019 transfer Demirköz, the center of cooperation, he said made the transfer of information from CERN in the framework of the protocol signed between CERN with METU.
Emphasizing that the measurement of radiation resistance tests of critical materials with domestic systems is of critical importance for space technologies, Demirköz continued as follows:
"We have successfully completed the first phase of our project and now we are able to do some of the radiation tests with METU-SDH. We are currently doing radiation tests of original components and equipment produced by many organizations with this infrastructure. For example, lastly, Gazi University and TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center work. We conducted radiation tests of solar cells developed for space. "
Prof. Dr. Bilge Demirköz pointed out that the Radiation Meter in question is the prototype of the "Domestic Radiation Monitor", which was launched in 2017 with the support of the Presidency Strategy and Budget and the Undersecretariat of Defense Industry, which measures ionizing radiation in space for national satellites and is a kind of particle detector.
In line with Turkey's 2023 space objectives, the Republic of Turkey Defense Industry Department (SSB) by MUFs Project, initiated and solid and liquid fuel propulsion system developed by ROKETSAN probe rocket's Demirköz reminiscent sent into space from Sinop Test Center, the success of Turkey He emphasized that he made him enter the space league.
Radiation environment information in space was successfully collected with Radiation Meter
"Turkey's space rocket launch ROKETSAN allowing the probe to enter the league, radiation environment in space with scientific knowledge in flying cargo Radiation Meter has been successfully collected." Demirköz said:
"The MUFS Project is now aimed at developing probe rockets that deliver greater payloads to higher altitudes, then placing microsatellites into orbit. Flight tests of larger probe rockets are planning to launch similar scientific loads into space."
26-29 October 2020 date in voicing made of many critical national technology experiment with rockets sent into space Demirköz, university and industry is an example of cooperation and METU ACCELERATION's teams gave the following information was related to the new technologies developed in Turkey:
"METU ivmer's counting different subatomic particles in the first completely space environment as a Turkish researcher with the national capital for the successful result of university-industry cooperation in Turkey space established with ROKETSAN Radiation Meter was developed. So one of the important critical equipment in Turkey's aerospace The Silicon-based sensor designed and produced by UEKAE Semiconductor Technologies Research Laboratory (YITAL) at TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, as well as the collaborations carried out with CERN in the development of the Radiation Meter, which counts the subatomic particles passing through it one by one. In the satellite launch tests carried out by ROKETSAN successfully on 26-29 October 2020, the space probe was attached to the space probe rocket and went into space twice and provided us with data about the space environment by measuring the instant radiation dose rate and particle flow at the climbed altitude. 130 kilometers altitude With the space probe rocket reaching up to the moon, we saw that the radiation dose increased step by step. Thus, the radiation counter successfully completed its mission in two space travels with the Probe Rocket launched by ROKETSAN from Sinop. Thus, examination of radiation impact on Turkey's aerospace products and improved guidance will be to reduce these effects.
This has been a great honor for us. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which we previously produced for the International Space Station when we were in the United States, was sent from abroad to space, now it is very valuable for us to see the first step of this advanced technology go from our own land to space with our national means. "
Emphasizing that the results of the data obtained from the meter on space will be announced to the scientific world as an international publication and will be the subject of a thesis, Demirköz pointed out that the information of the radiation environment in space is of great importance for the critical equipment developed for space, especially satellites. Demirköz, "Turkey's probe developed by ROKETSAN rocket, launch systems success in the field and METU ivmer the university has developed in industrial partnership Radiation Meter was approached by a step further with their national space objective of our country." said.
Radiation measurement monitor technology is also on the way
Demirköz noted that the METU IVMER team aims to expand the range of projects aimed at the needs of different sectors, thanks to the knowledge gained. Accordingly, Demirköz stated that the work package of the Particle Radiation Test Infrastructure Installation Project on "Making a Conceptual Design Study for the Development of a Radiation Measurement Monitor" was expanded with the approval of SSB, and gave the following information:
"Activities for the development of the qualification model of the local Radiation Measurement Monitor, which measures the radiation dose rate and particle flux in space, is intended to be used especially in our national and domestic satellites and will provide information about the space environment by playing a critical role in the qualification of the space of our satellites. and is planned to be developed by the end of 2021 for use in our satellites. "
