AI-generated summary
Türkiye continued its observation satellite projects, which started with BILSAT and RASAT through TÜBİTAK UZAY, with İMECE and GÖKTÜRK satellites.
The project aims to strengthen Türkiye's national satellite technologies and commercial satellite systems infrastructure. The new generation microsatellite will be used in agriculture, environment and maritime fields with its imaging and artificial intelligence capabilities. The project aims to develop a high-performance platform with domestic resources for microsatellites weighing less than 75 kilograms.
In this context, Türkiye aims to develop a high-performance satellite platform with domestic facilities for microsatellites weighing less than 75 kilograms.
The high-performance platform, which will be developed with domestic resources, will be launched in the last quarter of 2028, bringing space history to the satellite.
IT WILL UNDERTAKE STRATEGIC TASKS FROM AGRICULTURE TO MARINE SURVEILLANCE
GEZGİN-1 will have high-resolution multispectral imaging, artificial intelligence-supported image processing and integration capabilities with AIS data.
It will operate in the fields of precision agriculture, plant health monitoring and agricultural productivity analysis with its satellite-based data and analysis infrastructure.
Cartography and geographic information systems, land use and change detection, and environmental monitoring and management will also be among the satellite's usage areas.
GEZGİN-1 is also expected to be used in maritime surveillance, ship traffic monitoring and artificial intelligence-supported image analysis.

The US Space Force confirmed that the Swift Observatory spacecraft re-entered the Earth's atmosphere north of Sumatra, near Indonesia. It has not yet been announced how much of the approximately 1.5-ton vehicle burned in the atmosphere. NASA stated that the probability of the fragments causing damage is very low. The planned rescue operation with the Link spacecraft failed due to propulsion and reaction wheel problems.
The US Space Force has confirmed that the Swift Observatory spacecraft, whose orbit had been lowered by intense solar activity, re-entered the Earth's atmosphere north of Sumatra, near Indonesia. It has not yet been announced how much of the approximately 1.5-ton vehicle burned in the atmosphere. The planned intervention with the Link spacecraft could not be carried out due to technical malfunctions.

TAI is building the HÜRSAT-1 satellite project on the accumulation of GÖKTÜRK and other strategic programs. The satellite, which weighs approximately 200 kilograms and will provide sub-meter resolution imaging, aims to be developed in 24 months. The HÜRSAT family, which can be scaled with different classes between 100-650 kilograms, is planned for civil and defense use.

Türkiye aims to develop a high-performance satellite platform with domestic facilities for microsatellites weighing under 75 kilograms. The platform named GEZGİN-1 will be launched in the last quarter of 2028 and will undertake strategic missions from agriculture to maritime surveillance.

Microsatellite GEZGİN-1, developed by TÜBİTAK UZAY, will be launched in the last quarter of 2028. The satellite, which weighs less than 75 kg, will provide services in areas such as artificial intelligence-supported image processing and maritime traffic monitoring.

The production of the 12U cubesat of the Organization of Turkic States, named TDT-SAT, has been completed and is planned to be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in the second half of 2027. In the Ankara Declaration adopted at the 13th TDT Summit, it was reported that the space and aviation department was expanded, a cooperation agreement was signed between member countries and the Turkish World Space Days were planned.
