KİRKOR DİVARCI
An Armenian originated Turkish Citizen
A young entrepreneur who made the first successful missile launch in the history of the Republic of Turkey.

Supported by the Turkish Armed Forces, Divarcı and his friends succeeded in sending the 1.33 meters long and 1.5 kg Marmara-1 Missile to a height of 10 km on September 19, 1962.

After Marmara-2, Hürriyet-1 and Hürriyet-2, the next target was the AKTRUS Missile.

With this missile, Turkey would also participate in the space race between the USA and Russia.

AKTRUS was planned to be 4 meters long and 500 kg in weight.

A mouse would also be placed inside the missile. The movements of the mouse would be recorded with the microfilm machine to be placed inside the missile. When the missile was launched and reached a height of 150 kilometers, the rocket capsule would detach and land again with the parachute system. So what happened next? You can watch the movie to find out what happens next.

Kirkor Divarcı, the new episode in the "Defence Industry Heroes Animation Series" prepared by the Presidency of Defense Industries. You can watch the Kirkor Divarcı episode, directed by Gökhan Turan, written by Güner Erdoğan, and project coordinator by Hamza Yasin Topçu, from the link below.

President of Turkish Space Agency:

"The final tests of the DeltaAV Uzay’s Probe Rocket System (SORS) will be held in the fall. We plan to exceed the 100 km limit there as well.

The cargo hold in front of SORS has the ability to launch 10-15 kg of measuring equipment into space."

"The engine that we will add to our spacecraft and that we aim to reach the moon with its propulsion (in 2023) is DeltaAV Uzay’s ÜKROM.

ÜKROM is much smaller than SORS. We don't need the big push from SORS as gravity won't be an issue."

It seems like things are going better than expected. Sonda(Sounding) was planned for 2023 now the first orbital flight is planned for 2023.

Version 2 of MSLS will go above 550km with 200kg payload. If this capability will be gained soon after the V1 it will be fantastic, as it is a lot more usable in a short time frame.

TUSAŞ prepares for new satellite exports

TUSAŞ Space Systems Deputy General Manager Dr. Selman Nas answered questions from an AA correspondent about the work carried out at the Space Systems Integration and Test Center and the company's activities in this area.

The company has operated for 16 years, voicing space within Section Nas, was shown very great improvements in this time if already Turksat 6A satellite prior to the flight model, engineering model integration, assembly, test activities is being carried out, he said.

Stating that the communication satellite project produced for TurkSat AŞ is continuing successfully, Nas also stated that they are conducting communication satellite work for the International Sunday, which will soon turn into a brand, working entirely with an electric propulsion system. Nas said:

"We are developing through GSATCOM Space Technologies Inc., which we have established in partnership with INVAP, based in Argentina. We had a client. We're going to build a communications satellite based on the satellite we developed for the ARSAT operator in Argentina. A communications satellite capable of high data transfer. In the international field, our GSATCOM company made an export. We see this as a very important, successful event from our point of view in the space field. We have entered into tenders in other countries. We recently established gsatcom, just over 2 years ago. We entered into a communications satellite tender in Kazakhstan, we brought it very well until the last moment. We are pursuing other opportunities in the international arena. Other countries also need communication satellites. We're looking for opportunities to make offers there. We will soon begin negotiations on a similar communications satellite. After the second satellite, there will be a sequel."

Ready for duty in the country

Nas, which stated that they plan to make the satellite very quickly, said that because its mass is low, two satellites can be sent with the same launcher. Nas stressed that compared to traditional large satellites, they can produce satellites with high capacity for more than 15 years, much more cost-effective because the launch and production costs are low.

Nas, which stated that they are also conducting negotiations for such satellites domestically, said that they have gained all the capabilities to make communication satellites with domestic facilities. Nas made the following assessments:

"Our army needs a communications satellite. It is possible that we can give it with this kind of solution. Our operator in Turkey needs to upgrade some of its satellites before 2030, after 2025. We've also had discussions about them. There are opportunities. Considering that our competence is formed in both chemical and electric propulsion systems and that we have the capacity to produce cost-effective solutions and fast, we are at a point where we can meet the needs of the country. It's obvious on observation satellites."

Selman Nas noted that they cooperate as high as possible with companies and institutions in the country in satellite projects.
