That one word that will define the Turkish spacefarer is an elusive one. I suggest they put up a prize for the chosen word that will be divided between the people who suggested the same word. They should set up an SMS line for it. And the prize should be an attractive one.
Curious if the 2028 soft landing launch will be made with a Roketsan rocket or still a foreign rocket. If the earlier announced 2030 SSO launcher can be made ready for the 2028 launch it will be a national effort end to end. Combined with the target of acquiring the ability to launch heavy...
Let me tell you something: Technology development is progressing exponentially, that speed can hit the seas sooner than most people think. From my major area of interest which is aviation I can say that the progression happened bewilderingly fast in the last couple of years. I have started...
I am sorry
I'm sorry, I didn't mean physically sinking, I meant conceptually not being useful anymore.
FYI: I am not a shipbuilder but I lived on the see for some of my life.
Simplicity will get you to some point and then it will suddenly stop and sink. That's where compounding starts. This is happening in aviation where classical helicopters will be phased out of attack roles where speed and agility are paramount. Helicopters with wings and pusher propellers and...
I've got a nice Turkish name for astronaut and I will only tell it if they make a contest.
It is not 10/10 but like 3/4 for popularity. Will be a treat for some people.
Those who wish well for Turkey will be happy as those who do not will be sorry I am wishing with our space program. We have proven that we can and we will.

This American design that is turned into a civilian model by Italians is an old technology which is nowadays evolved into V-280 Valor in its homeland.
The new model achieved a top speed of around 565 km/h.
It is a fast helicopter but lifting capacity and autorotation ability is questionable...
To my surprize, I have reviewed the video and he really says that in 2023 we will use our own hybrid rocket to send a hard lander to the Moon, bravo. So there is a reason to hold our breath in the short term as well.
Edit: The main rocket will be SpaceX and the second stage will be Turkish...
The budget is announced to be ₺2.1bn
Correction: This number is the money invested in the industry so far, the actual budget is said to be $50mn when combined with the budgets of related institutes. However every project in the space program will have their own budgets. So there is shortage of...

This lander was launched by SpaceX as a secondary payload.
And it was made for soft landing.
Turkey's 2023 SpaceX payload is for hard landing.
Turkey's 2028 payload is for soft landing and to be launched by our own rocket.
