84 Equipment was produced with domestic facilities
Noting that space can now have a say in more countries, from agriculture to health, from communication to information technologies, the new inventions have become widespread in different fields.
“We have made significant breakthroughs in space sciences and technologies in the last 22 years. We have reached the position of a country that can develop, test and produce their own satellites. We can take images from every point of the world without any constraints from every point of the world with the satellite of the imece that we develop national. “
Kacır, approximately 600 kilograms and 600 kilometers of orbit in orbit after the observation satellites raised the bar, said: “36 thousand kilometers in a fixed orbit to work 4 thousand 250 kilograms of communication satellite to a higher league.

We will strengthen our claim in space with our new generation of team satellites that will perform high resolution observations with Türksat 7A we will benefit from.
Emphasizing that they will continue the exports they initiated in high-added systems such as electro-optic camera on the observation satellites with communication satellites, Kacır said that they evaluated their R & D and production capabilities in the Moon Mission.
Space Technopark will be opened
Kacır stated that they will reach the Moon with a spacecraft with a national impulse system developed by their engineers and scientists and said:
“In line with the national space program that we continue with the vision of our country in space, we will fortify the place in the field of strong and fully independent Türkiye in line with the national space program.
