Gokturk 1 is for reconnaissance. Regarding Gokturk 2: The second purpose of this satellite is observation. The first task is the optimization and validation of "MADE IN TURKEY" sections, probably such as focusing the lens, object tracking, motion of the solar panels, decay of the materials in...

By 2.5 m res., you cant see people moving or small vehicles but you can see the buildings, construction, etc. so useful. The art and experience of reading the images is also important. Only one satellite is not enough to perfectly monitor the whole middle east. You have to give priority to PKK...

20 million US $ ! very good deal indeed!! No offense but this site mentions China succeeded in 18 out of 19: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1212/18longmarch/#.UNFs-KwcTiE

Cangrats! Any images yet?

This satellite was never supposed to work. It was just a payload ONLY. There will not be any working sattelite in their next few launches either. They have to optimize every thing before sending a $100 million satellite, like Gokturk 2.

This is about the current map with some errors:

It maybe fun to laugh at but Iron Dome is technologically in the level of S400. The main withdrawal of iron dome is its saturation when facing a large number of missiles, fired about the same time.

India is definitely more advanced in space research compared to Iran. I don't think anyone has any doubt about it. However, so far Iran has progresses really fast. In case they can launch a GEO satellite successfully any time soon as Iran said, then they are almost equal but lets see.

Everyone can make his own wish but no one can predict what is gonna happen in Syria. Syrian army can not control everywhere and FSA cannot fight outside urban areas. There is no winner, but one loser, that is the people of Syria. Their GDP will be zero soon. They will not have a simple steel or...

Iran has problems in metallurgy of some sub-components of the turbo-engine such as the blades.

No one can predict anything now. I think the way of survival for Assad is : 1. to withdraw the forces from unimportant bases 2. Focusing on strategic locations 3. Arming PKK by MANPADS and everything 4. Cutting off basic supplies such as water and electric and gas to areas that are not under...

I think Alevis are thinking of these boundaries as an alternative, since it satisfies most of their interests. FSA will disagree for sure. What do you think? Edit: This is a theoretic map for future not what is currently going on.

Very wrong. Turkey has Egypt, Qatar, Libya, Tunisia. Actually Israel is no more an ally for Turkey at all. You do not have an update of huge middle east changes. Russian bear policy. They try to save face as much as they can. There is a danger sign for FSA at this point: It is the confident and...

I would say Akbar

North Korean Fox news! jumping up and down after the successful launch, lol North Korean TV special news bulletin on rocket launch - YouTube

There is nothing called Naro-1 (South Korea). It is a Russian missile and only 3 were delivered. Only one is left. In 2005 and 2008, the first two attempts were not successful. By the way, NK has had 4 failures and the new successful launch might be a third stage ICBM and not Satellite...

I have no proof for what I say but I believe that providers can switch the important sections off, in case it is necessary.

Disagreed! At least JF17 does not have a turn off switch to disable the system. Are you serious? strongest air defence? No combination of middle eastern countries can overcome Israel at this point. They have their own friends too.

Are they gonna exchange warm food for SLV technology?

If true, North Korea would be the 10th state to launch a satellite, the second state to do it using direct external assistance (after Israel getting help from France).
