Türkiye To Boost Earth Observation Capabilities With New Satellite Series

Türkiye will boost its earth observation capabilities with a soon-to-be-launched series of new satellites.

Minister of Industry and Technology, Mehmet Fatih Kacir, told Anadolu that the new and indigenous Imece satellite project, consisting of two new satellite series, will be commissioned within four years.

“A significant part of our country’s high-resolution Earth observation needs will be met by domestic means,” he said.

The project for the new series of two satellites will be followed up with the renewal projects of the Gokturk observation satellites, while work is currently underway on other CubeSats and small satellites.
