Türkiye's indigenous Rubidium Atomic Clock RAFS has been launched into space aboard SpaceX's Transporter-17 mission. Developed under the leadership of TUA, with TÜBİTAK UME as prime contractor, the clock is of critical importance for the Regional Positioning System.
Türkiye's first indigenous communications satellite, TÜRKSAT 6A, has been operating in orbit for two years since its launch on 9 July 2024. The engineering expertise acquired will form the foundation for TÜRKSAT 7A.
Türkiye signed agreements at the NATO Defence Industry Forum in the fields of strike capabilities, air defence, space, critical raw materials and UAV superiority. ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, STM and TÜBİTAK will act as contractors.
TÜBİTAK UZAY has held critical meetings in Malaysia regarding satellite technologies. The transfer of TÜRKSAT 6A expertise to meet Malaysia's communications satellite needs, as well as opportunities for joint Earth observation satellite development, were evaluated.
ASELSAN Makes Quantum Computing Move: First Signatures Signed for "QPU" Quantum Processor Production
ASELSAN has signed the first agreements for the Superconducting Quantum Processor Unit (QPU) – the heart of quantum computers. The project, which involves Sabancı University, Koç University and TÜBİTAK UME as stakeholders, will see production carried out at a domestic facility.
GÖKDOĞAN (65+ km, active radar) and BOZDOĞAN (25+ km, IIR) have passed their live warhead tests. The domestic rivals to the AMRAAM and Sidewinder are ready for the TAF inventory. They will be integrated onto the AKINCI and KIZILELMA.
The MIYOKA Phase-2 experiment hardware, developed by TÜBİTAK UZAY, is being launched into space with the SpX-34 mission to test lead-free soldering technologies in orbit.
TEI and TÜBİTAK MAM have signed a contract for single crystal casting and EB-PVD coating for Türkiye's first turbofan engine, the TEI TF10000. The engine is counting down to real-world tests.
Türkiye's first fully domestic communications satellite, TÜRKSAT 6A, is 1 year old. The technical specifications of the satellite, which offers wide coverage from Türkiye to Asia with Ku, Ka, and Q/V band support at 42° East orbit, are in our news.
TEI has successfully developed the production technology for single crystal turbine blades, the most critical component of aircraft engines, using domestic resources.
The Göktürk-2B (İMECE) Earth observation satellite has completed its third year in space. The satellite has orbited the Earth 16,000 times and scanned an area of 8.4 million km2.
The STI³ agreement, which combines science, industry, and investment between Türkiye and Italy, has been signed. Minister Fatih Kacır's statements, the opportunities offered to Italian industry, and Türkiye's strategic gains are featured in our news.
