A New Era Begins in Space with the FGN-100-D1 Satellite Project
Turkey's breakthroughs in space technologies, has gained momentum in recent years. In this context, the FGN-100-D1 satellite, which was developed entirely with national resources, represents an important step in our country's space journey. The satellite is planned to operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at an altitude of approximately 510 km and in Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO). In this way, it is aimed for Turkey to play a more active role in space.
Will Travel Around the World 15 Times a Day
The FGN-100-D1 satellite will move in orbit at a speed of 7.6 km/sec. This speed will allow the satellite to rotate approximately He has traveled around the world 15 times This will significantly increase the data collection and monitoring capacity on Earth. These features of the satellite will take Turkey's capabilities in the field of space technologies to the next level.
Development of the Space Ecosystem
This project aims to strengthen Turkey's space ecosystem. Space technologies are of critical importance not only for scientific research but also for economic development. FGN-100-D1 is just one example of national projects in the space field and will strengthen our country's independence in this field.
Ulugh Beg Global Positioning System
Selçuk Bayraktar stated that the launch and orbital process of the FGN-100-D1 satellite is being monitored by the Özdemir Bayraktar National Technology Center. Among their future goals are: The global positioning system they named Ulugh Beg Bayraktar said, “Hopefully, we will reach 5 satellites within 100 years and develop this system with our own resources to share it with all friendly and brotherly geographies.”
Constellations and Launch Vehicles
In addition to completing the constellation of satellites, the development of a launch vehicle weighing 50 tons and capable of lifting 1.5 tons into orbit is also ongoing. The development of this launch vehicle will contribute to Turkey being in a more independent position in space.
Turkish Signature in Space
The FGN-100-D1 project will enable Turkey to have a greater say in space. The use of domestic and national technologies in space studies will increase our country's technological independence. With these breakthroughs in space, Turkey will become a more effective player in the international arena.
Future Vision
Space studies are important not only in the field of science and technology, but also in national security and strategic areas. Bayraktar said, “May it be auspicious and auspicious for our country and nation. I would like to express my congratulations and gratitude to all my companions who contributed to our country's space adventure by working day and night.” and thanked all team members who contributed to the project.
As a result
The FGN-100-D1 satellite offers a great opportunity for Turkey to achieve its goals in the space field. The successful completion of this project will pave the way for our country to become more powerful in the international arena. Making a Turkish mark in space will also inspire many future projects.
