Turkey paves the way for large satellites plan

[ekrem]

According to the road map, Turkey will this year launch the Göktürk II, an electro optical reconnaissance and observation satellite. Göktürk I as well as Türksat 4A, a communications satellite, will be launched in 2013. Türksat 4B will be launched in 2014 and Türksat 4R in 2015 along with the Göktürk III, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) reconnaissance and observation satellite. 2016 will see an infrared early warning satellite sent into orbit, along with the Türksat 5A communications satellite. In 2017, Türksat 5B and a second infrared satellite will be launched. The electro optical Göktürk IV and two more infrared satellites will be put in orbit in 2018, and yet two more infrared satellites will be launched in 2019. In 2020 Turkey will launch its second SAR Göktürk V.

Among those 17 satellites are 6 real-time positioning Satellites to create a regional and small-version of GPS, in case the USA blocks Turkish access to GPS to direct the cruise-missiles to their targets and the targets are too far way to navigate them with INS guidance.

185 and 300 KM versions are already developed, this year will be tests for 500 km version and in 2014 2.500 KM version will come to service.

Rasat was already launched last year.
It had 15 meter resolution in color and 7.5 meter in black-white.
Göktürk-2 which will be launched this year has 2.5 meter color resolution and will produce much better pictures.

15 meter color resolution produces such pictures of Los Angeles.

The facility will be completed in 2013.
Space Technologies Research Institute - Uzay Teknolojileri Arastirma Enstitüsü +90 312 210 1310

Through HALE Turkey will establish its first facility for research and development of electric thruster technologies.
This project will build necessary knowledge base and facilities to design, manufacture, and test Hall effect thrusters. This facility will be established at TÜBİTAK UZAY with the support of the State Planning Organization (DPT). The thrusters, that will be developed and tested by this laboratory, will make it possible to design complicated space projects like lunar or interplanetary missions. And the infrastructure will be available for the development of new projects.
(...)
HALE is going to be an important step for the national “Moon Project”.

Moon Project is to send scientific satellite to circle around Moon.

Warren Buffett Purchases Israeli Comany Iscar, The First Foreign Company Purchased By Mr. Buffett...

Iscar is exceptional. I can give you an absolute, unequivocal answer You can go around the world and it's very impressive when a country of 7 million people turns out a business like this. I haven't seen anything like this in the United States. We were measuring Iscar against everything we see in the world.
