Türkiye has officially begun the construction of its space station in Somalia.” Baykar CTO Selçuk Bayraktar says:
“Türkiye has a spaceport in Somalia, at a location close to the Equator.
When you have a coastline on the ocean, you can deploy launch vehicles. There are 12 such locations in the world. Only one remains, and one of the best is the space station that will be in Somalia. Its construction there has been started by Turkish goverment.
Türkiye has a 30-kilometer spaceport. ROKETSAN will also use it. In the future, we aim to have the opportunity to use our own launch vehicles there as well.”
