TR Space Space Programs

Just a month left until the Moon landing Erdogan promised... @Zafer @Bogeyman @TheInsider

How are the preparations going?

Moon landing is not a priority project that can bring immediate returns so we can put up with some delays after all, can't we.

 

[Cabatli_TR]

New target: 2025/2026. All programs have their own priority and these types of challenging projects require patience and effort. Even those who started these projects years ago are experiencing abnormal disruptions and cant keep up with schedule these days. How many times has S. Korea tried and failed despite lots of technological support? what about Space X in their firat attempt? We may not even be able to meet our target in our first try, we may even fail in moon-orbit program but instead of distributing judgment about big tech challenging projects from our comfort zone, all should understand the difficulties, support the steps regarding future of our country with all our heart and believe our country's goals because Goals are eternal so all we need is time and faith. When we reach 2030s, we will launch such vehicle that will go to the Moon with our own rocket.

Did roketsan test SR1 or Cenk MRBM?

Stupid video. People stream SLV launches live in HD and we hide them for what?

SR-1 is a historic milestone for Turkish rocketry. This post actualy announces that the Turks have achieved the capability to send satellites into space with liquid-fueled rockets. The 300km apogee will improve rapidly year by year, but the important thing is that progress in this area is within the up-to-date standards in the world. This will make Roketsan's launch system technically and commercially competitive. Turkiye may have a remarkable market in this area, in the 2030s. On the military side, this sharing may indirectly indicate that the Turks have also reached MRBM capability.

With respect to Turks in space, I think we should have a Lt Gen Kerim Kerimov (1917-2003) appreciation day in Turkey. An Azeri Turk, he was the chief scientist of the Soviet Space Program (SSP). His mere existence was kept secret from the world, for the safety of the SSP, until 1987. Whilst the world celebrated the accomplishments of his rival peers, he worked thanklessly in the shadows. He was undoubtedly as great as Werner von Braun—or much greater, in my opinion, since he wasn't a literal nazi. Sputnik. Vostok. Soyuz. Salyut. Mir. Need I say more? He serves as a reminder of what Turks, as with any other people, are capable of accomplishing some of the greatest leaps in human ingenuity. In tough times, our culture loves to indulge in hopelessness and defeatism. Here is man that proves the sky is not the limit.

"We made the world's highest thrust density hybrid rocket motors with the unique technology we developed."

How much powerful missile can this rocket motor power? in range ?

 

[Kartal1]

The rocket, which will include our country's first space traveler Alper Gezeravcı, is planned to be launched at 01.11 tonight.

That's why i didn't want to write anything, to not jinx it...

T- 20:00:00. Final stretch now, no mention of a scrub for now.

 

[Sanchez]

And up they went! After nose cone deployment, we wait.

 

[dBSPL]

When we will reach the independence in accessing space within our own lands and with our own systems, we will tell our grandchildren about this day and how was started. Gezeravcı is the first step, we all know that this is not a tourism mission but the beginning of a whole story.

 

[Zafer]

Any updated info as to when we plan to place our first object into orbit, I will be much more excited about it than watching somebody else run a show.

Suborbital:
- Probe rockets: TP and SR-0.1 series <136km
- Probe rocket: SR-1 100kg / 300km (end 2023)

Orbital:
- Simsek 1 and 2: 400kg - 1.5t / 550 - 700km (2027-28)

I wonder what is happening with the SR-1 launch as it is supposed to be about time.

 

[Agha Sher]

I understand that Turkiye feels proud for her first astronaut. However, let's be real, this has little scientific or capability value and rather is an expensive tourist mission.

The real news to be proud of was delivered by Fergani Space: Seems like Fergani will develop a launch system as well!

Fergani CEO Selçuk Bayraktar:

• Hopefully we will launch our first satellite into space this year.
• We are also working on orbital transfer vehicles.
• As a startup called Fergani, we aim to develop launch systems.
