With the “Cooperation Protocol in the Field of Satellite Launch and Space Systems” signed between TÜRKSAT and ROKETSAN, joint studies will be carried out within the scope of satellite and space programs.
Türksat aims to be the very first company to use the national launch system.
The TÜRKSAT 7A satellite, which is currently in the preparation phase, will be sent into space using Turkey’s own launch system in Somalia.
The satellite is planned to enter service in 2029, while Türkiye’s spaceport is underconstruction in Somalia.
Türkiye also is planning to launch newly displayed Intercontinental Ballistic missiles which reaches 6,000km in Somalia by the end of this year per Türkiye defence officials.
