GSATCOM company will export HTS Communication Satellite with High Output Power to Argentina. This satellite will be the first export of Turkey in the field of space and will be delivered in 2024. Argentine satellite manufacturer INVAP and Turkish Aerospace have formed a joint company called GSATCOM Space Technologies in 2019.
The venture will create a new line of small, all-electric geostationary communication satellites, with the goal of increasing the companies’ presence in the international market. INVAP built Argentina’s ARSAT-1 and ARSAT-2 telecom satellites with assistance from European manufacturers. Turkish Aerospace is involved in the development of Turkey’s first domestically produced satellite, Turksat-6A, in handling assembly, integration and test activities. [INVAP]
