That's probe rocket. It has no tangential velocity to put a payload to orbit. It goes up and then comes down in several minutes.

Super news thx bro!
Roketsan's SLV projects are very strategic for our free access to space. Considering that we will gain very high resolution EO satellites, positioning, communication and early warning capabilities from space in the 2030s, it will be vital to carry these capabilities into space with domestic rockets. At the same time, these projects will be a prestigious and promotional instrument for our country.

Ankara based Plan-S' 2nd satilite in orbit. The company plans for more than 100 satelites in 2025.
Turkiye's space industry is really taking off. Launch industry should accelerate their plans and deliver a small launcher by 2025.

Thank God, good luck. We need to send more satellites, we are at a very early stage compared to other developed countries.Turkiye's IMECE Satellite is Launched | TurDef

Mr Mandal: "We are producing 2 IMECE sub-meter cameras for a friendly and allied country. We also participated in the tender to produce a satellite for a friendly country. The preliminary stages are over, we are shortlisted.”

The satellite is not in a stationary orbit. It's in a polar orbit. It has to make a full circle(about 100min) around the globe to spend a few mins over Turkiye. I'm not sure how many trips the satellite will make to Turkiye in a day.I hope Turkiye produces some 12 Spy sats next 6 years to spy eveywhere anytime

I know thats why i said Turkiye needs alot of spy satellites because when a location in France ( example) is needed to spy , One of spy satellites is there to spy . Aslo China russia USA and some others have too many spy satellites .
In case of bad weathers There should be SAR spy satellite Gokturk 3 that is becaming ready since 2013 bit still no news about it . 15 spy sats - 3 SAR sats - 10 telecomunication sats are perfect for Turkiye

It's Panchromatic(black and white) resolution is 0.99m(submeter) whereas the multispectral resolution is 3.96m. That means multispectral mode if two objects are as close to each other as 3.96 meters then the those two objects would seem as one in the image.
One single image covers an area of 13.9 km × 16.2 km.

This image below is from IKONOS EO satellite(was launched in 1999 to the same orbit with 680km altitude). It has 1 meter panchromatic resolution and 4m multispectral resolution. These values are very similar to IMECE's. So it should give an idea on how IMECE's images would look when it's in operation.
