When is Turkey's first homemade rocket launch?
Or already happened?
Turkey's largest space rocket planned will take a soft landing piece of equipment to the Moon in 2028.
Before that in 2023 a Turkish made second stage carried on a foreign first stage will take a crash landing piece of equipment to the Moon.

This is the moon mission. In the field of SLV; By 2024, Roketsan will launch 1,35m diameter, 19m length overall, 32ton weight three stage MUFA SLV(100+kg, 400+km) and most likely we will see a two stage 1,35m diameter MUFA test rocket launch in 2022-2023.

By 2028/29, Roketsan will launch UFA SLV. (1,5+ton payload, 700+km)

A large celestial object is approaching Earth but what is our TUA doing about it?
The object is 300km in diameter and will be near Pluto in 10 years time.

5B is coming this year too, and 6A is next year, that's a hat trick.
With 5B Turkey's internet capacity is growing 15 fold.
6A is highly indigenous.

Türksat 5A was launched in to space in January this year. Now it is being commissioned in to service.
Tests have been carried out on the Türksat 5A, which reached geosynchronous orbit in space as of May 4, Karaismailoğlu said, adding that orbital tests began on May 5 and were "successfully completed."
This satellite will significantly increase coverage area of our current satellite network.
He added that once the communication satellite is operational, it will cover Turkey, Europe, the Middle East, Northern and Southern Africa as well as the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Seas.

Space-qualified solar panel of Turkey's Scientific and Technological Research Council ready for use​

Solar panel to provide power supply to Turkey’s high-resolution observation satellite Imece​

A space-qualified solar panel developed by the Marmara Research Center (MAM) of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) will be the basic load on Turkey’s first indigenous high-resolution observation satellite, Imece, planned to be launched to space in 2022.

Having successfully completed all required tests, the solar panel will meet the energy needs of national satellites by producing electricity from sunlight.


The indigenous panel, with a capacity to produce 100 watts of power in challenging space conditions, will eliminate Turkey’s foreign dependence on critical space technologies.

"Our solar panels have been transferred to the Space Institute, the partner of our project, and they are now ready for integration," TUBITAK MAM Materials Institute Director Metin Usta told Anadolu Agency.

“Ground level verification, qualification, and functionality tests of the solar panels have been successfully completed in accordance with international standards,” Alper Secgin, the project coordinator, said.

GÖKTÜRK-1R

GÖKTÜRK REPLACEMENT
EARTH OBSERVATION & RECONNAISSANCE SATELLITE SYSTEM


GÖKTÜRK Replacement Satellite System aims to sustain Turkish Armed Forces’ very high-resolution electro-optical remote sensing capability acquired by the GÖKTÜRK-1 Satellite System when the design life of GÖKTÜRK-1 Satellite expires, and to develop an indigenous satellite system. GÖKTÜRK-1 Replacement Satellite System Development Project includes the satellite and the ground stations composed of one stationary and one mobile ground station; launch and early orbit operations; commissioning activities; and support services along with the integrated logistics support. In the scope of the Project, subsystems of the satellite, including the very high-resolution electro-optical camera is planned to be acquired by using in-house capabilities with a progressive approach.
