TR Space Space Programs

I asked a certain gentleman 2 hours ago, who talked about space tourism, what these 55 million dollars, you would spend for?
I am waiting for the answer, can you please answer the question?

Aerospace engines, engines, engines, engines. Or civilian infrastructure - we don't have the charging point infrastructure to support electric vehicles in the future. What would you spend it on Mehmet?

 

[Bozan]

Tuva Atasever will do another trip to Karman line with Virgin Galactic in a few months. That is much more touristy and I think is a bad use of resources. I do not think Turkey joining ESA will happen, and I doubt Turkey is interested in joining ESA astronaut program any longer. Not when you can just pay for it directly rather than dealing with bureaucratic hassle. TUA budget should be increased immensely.

There is a lot to do before a moon landing and it is going to be very expensive, no shortcuts can be taken. A big part is going to be about government commitment

We might not have the budget to go toe to toe with likes of SpaceX But There are alternatives methods developing for space launch systems, If We combine these new up and coming methods with DeltaVs solution And If we invest into such technologies early on, We might even have a chance, commercially. At least It would give us capability to reach space without needing to SpaceX or other firms.

Launching rockets from airplanes they can put 443 kg into low Earth orbit as an alternative.

I don't think there are plans for a manned moon landing at the moment. If Orion and Starship works and there is a semi permanant moon base where all nations come together a la Jamestown Base sure. Without it, a manned moon mission with our own rocket and second stage is a huge waste of resources. You can fund 10 Jovian missions past Jupiter for that kind of money.

 

[Sanchez]

They're about to enter ISS and meet the onboard crew in few seconds.

Yes This would give us access to LEO But Still We will need foreign companies aircraft for that, Be it airbus or Boeing. But We can buy these system likely without a problem. I think both is a lot better than Traditional rocket solutions. Neither Roketsan nor DelvaV cant compete with SpaceX's prices with traditional rockets. We should at least go for comparable price, If We only focus LEO system for localization reason, We wont be using it in the long term. We need price parity at least marginally.

In 2023, the projected budget for the Turkish Space Agency (TUA) is 1 billion 618 million Turkish lira.

Space travel 1 billion 660 million Turkish lira.

Btw,If it is real, I read for the first time in the comment above that it is 55 million dollars.

I repeat, if it's real. The government's bizarre odd jobs.

The 55 million dollars was taken from the 1st mission cost per person going up for space tourism. Could be slightly more / less

İmece 2 and 3 on the burner.

[Saithan]

I don't hear the same whining on other projects because people just got fed up.

Well, now we can scratch "First Turkish man in space" from our list and focus on other things. That's how it is. People could just accept it and stop bickering.

 

[godel44]

It is a testament to the power of private sector that sending an astronaut to ISS got as ridiculously cheap as 55 million USD. We should turn this into a regular thing and have a couple of missions every year.

Does it says when will be lunched?
We need at least 10 Spy sats and 2 SAR sats to have 24/7 eyes everywhere .

There is also a project to develop high-resolution satellite constellations. And its budget is almost twice that of the İmece-1 project.

 

[Sanchez]

Yes, at 92 million USD. 2026 for İmece 2 and 2027 for İmece 3 completion also given. Wonder if launch costs are part of the project budget. İmece-1 launch cost figures are not public, but per SpaceX' publicly available data it may have cost as low as 4-5 million dollars.

 

[Kartal1]

A SpaceX engineer identified as Yiğit Tokbey died in a multi-vehicle collision near Orcutt. Tokbey was a Senior Launch Engineer for SpaceX. The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation.

May he rest in peace!

In addition, The resolution of Imece-2 and 3 satellites is stated as 0.5m

Türkiye'nin "uzay otobanı" yeni uydular ve Ay'a sert inişle hareketlenecek

TÜBİTAK Başkanı Prof. Dr. Mandal, İMECE-1 uydusunun ardından İMECE-2 ve 3'e odaklandıklarını belirterek, "2027'ye gelindiğinde 3 uydumuz eş zamanlı çalışacak. Türkiye de artık sadece uydusunu yapan değil, takım uydusunu yapan bir ülke olacak." dedi. - Anadolu Ajansı

Minister of Transport Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that the Türksat 6A satellite will be sent into space in June.

Bakan Uraloğlu: Milli ve yerli uydumuzu haziran ayında uzaya fırlatarak oradaki gücümüzü de artırmış olacağız

Ulaştırma ve Altyapı Bakanı Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, "Uzayda bulunan uydularımız var. 2024 yılında kendi ürettiğimiz milli ve yerli uydumuzu Amerika'ya göndererek ve haziran ayında uzaya fırlatarak oradaki gücümüzü de artırmış olacağız." dedi. - Anadolu Ajansı
