UZAY

Technology & Solutions

TÜBİTAK UZAY develops many subsystems and application projects such as communication systems, star trackers and flight computers, as well as domestic and national operational satellites in order to ensure the technological independence of our country in the field of space technologies.

UZAY

Infrastructures & Services

TÜBİTAK UZAY, Türkiye's leading research and development organization in the rapidly developing field of space technologies, has been operating in the field of satellite technology research and development since 2001. Our Institute, whose product portfolio includes BİLSAT, RASAT, GÖKTÜRK-2 and İMECE satellites that have successfully served our country, has proven its reliability in all processes at the system and subsystem level (AIT etc.) with its operational products.

In fact, the RASAT satellite, which had a design life of three years, successfully served for 11 years and was recently retired. GÖKTÜRK-2 and İMECE satellites, on the other hand, continue to serve successfully with their subsystems and components realized with domestic and national capabilities.

TÜBİTAK UZAY responds to the needs in the field of space both through the services it provides through its infrastructures and through the transfer of information through consultancies.

We are proud!

Because, as Türkiye's first indigenous communication satellite, TÜRKSAT 6A took its place in space on July 9th,

  • Türkiye has become one of the 11 countries operating its own communication satellite;
  • The technological product with the highest value produced by Türkiye to date have started its 15-year mission at the farthest point we have ever reached in space (35,786 km);
  • With a localization rate of over 80 percent, the design, production, integration and testing processes carried out under the leadership of TÜBİTAK UZAY have started to prove themselves worldwide;
  • Many high-tech satellite subsystems developed by TÜBİTAK UZAY, such as flight computers, power distribution and regulation units, star trackers, reaction wheels, electric propulsion systems, as well as indigenous software, have started to gain history and have become a candidate to become the locomotive for our space technology exports.

We are on our way to becoming a world-class technology provider!
