Satellite Subsystems and Components
Optical Systems
High-resolution electro-optical satellite cameras are being developed to meet the need for near-orbit imaging.
Communication Systems
Communication equipment that allows satellites and spacecraft to communicate with the ground and communication systems specific to the needs of the defense industry are being developed. Thanks to the modular design approach, adaptation can be made according to the different needs of space platforms.
Power Systems
Power Regulation Units and Power Distribution Units are being developed for use in satellites and spacecraft. These units have a power handling capacity in the range of 10 kW and 2 kW, 28 V unregulated and 100 V regulated, and are used in satellite platforms operating in near-earth and geosynchronous orbits.
Flight Computer and Flight Software
Powerful and reliable Flight Computers and Flight Software compatible for different orbits are being developed. Thanks to the highly reliable LEON3 processor architecture and modular equipment structure, adaptation for different platforms is possible.
Electric Propulsion System and Engine
Completed at the end of 2018, the HALE Project established Turkey's first satellite propulsion system (the engine system that provides the satellite with the ability to move in space) development laboratory and Turkey's first electric propulsion system was developed with all its equipment within the scope of this project.
The 1,500 W Hall Effect Propulsion Engine, Cathode, Fuel Supply Unit, Power Processing and Control Unit were indigenously designed, manufactured and tested in the established laboratories and space qualification was completed. This system will be used experimentally on the TÜRKSAT 6A satellite and will become historical.
In addition, as a continuation of the first system developed within the scope of the HALE Project, the production of a second electric propulsion system for use in our earth observation satellites has been initiated. The fact that electric propulsion systems, which are considered to be the technology of the future in the field of satellite propulsion systems, can be produced domestically has minimized Turkey's foreign dependence in this field.
Orbit and Orientation Control Subsystem
Star Trackers, Reaction Wheels, Solar Sensors and Global Positioning Equipment compatible with different orbits are being developed.
