Micro Satellite Launch System MUFS to launch first satellite in 2024

[dBSPL]

SSB İsmail DEMİR:
"Micro Satellite Launch System MUFS will launch the first satellite in 2024"

ROKETSAN Advanced Technologies and Systems Dr. Sartuk KARASOY:
"The National Satellite Launch System will have a configuration that will carry the 400 kg satellite to an altitude of 550 km."

"With cryogenic engine technology, we will have the capacity to launch satellites like GÖKTÜRK into space."

KARASOY: "Another dimension of the project is the establishment of a satellite launch center in Turkey. We will achieve the capability to launch our own micro-satellites from our own country.

What is the maximum range of missiles, that can reach 500 km apogee?

There's real progress on all fronts these days.

The simplifying trend in space rocketry is towards reusable rockets and this rocket from the picture fails on that account. Private companies in China are testing reusable rockets and here is what seems to be a big Turkish company not building reusable rocket from the start. Not ambitious at all.

What kind of sick, backward, anti-progressive, almost primitive, anti-development, fragile and simply wrong mindset is this, Mr Socialist?

It is not an anti-progressive mindset. My mistake that I did not elaborate so will do below :

1. This non-reusable rocket seems to be more or less a permanent way for ROKETSAN / Turkey because the satellite is not a test satellite intended to test payload release mechanisms and to test spacecraft operation but the satellite is a developed one which cements this type / configuration of launch vehicle.

2. ROKETSAN didn't learn from SpaceX which built the Falcon Heavy rocket that looks like the above Turkish rocket, having a main first stage booster and two side boosters, but SpaceX I think has kept it on reserve in favor of developing SpaceX's universal, reusable rocket launch system the Starship plus Super Heavy booster which are completely reusable. I think SpaceX has kept FH on reserve because it is currently the system able to carry the biggest payload ( am I right on this, @Hamartia Antidote ? ). But the focus is on the universal and reusable platform Starship plus Super Heavy which is supposed to have its first orbital test launch in the coming months. Now if ROKETSAN says it is building a cryogenic engine rocket ( liquid oxygen and what ? ) but not even having a program to develop reusable rockets ( two Chinese companies have small test models already ) then ROKETSAN is not being ambitious at all.

crap of load....

Turkey should not invest in own space technology and let it do Chinese...

Bro, that's the side effects of a defeatist mentality. That guy's still mentally enslaved. What do you expect?
