This is very important news..As projected earlier, this project will lead us produce our own SRBMs and MRBMs
total waste of time and resources
we don't have enough number of satellite programs to make such a venture feasible.
Where will the launch pad be located?

Wishful thinking...That's perhaps because it's so expensive for Turkey to launch them because we rely on foreign countries to do it for us? Having a domestic launch system will bring the cost of space launch down, enabling more funds to go into the development of more satellites for various purposes.
This vehicle will trigger the creation of SPACE INDUSTRY in Turkey, and allow us to enter a market worth billions of dollars in the space launch business alone. But also think of all the side industries, suppliers and additional employment it will create.
The Name is very Cool Göktürk ^^
Wishful thinking...
We can count the satellites we launch per year with our fingers, it's doubtful if we'll have any foreign customers and it's extremely doubtful if we can make a VLS efficient enough to compete with American or Russian rivals. Heck, we took our ballistic missile technology from China, how are we supposed to catch-up with them?
All I'm saying is that we have more pressing concerns than falling behind in the urine race with Iran.
This isn't a defence-related project. So it's a business investment, which means it must have some realistic goals which'll bring a certain amount of profit within a reasonable time period. If it cant, than it isn't worth the risk.All great innovative projects started with more wishful thinking than this one, you must have a goal before starting doing anything. I admire this ambitious program. and please don't compare yourselves with Iran..

Iran isn't making money by launching satellites, I don't think we will either. It's just masturbation on government level. It was so when Iran attempted to do it, it'll be so when Turkey does.
Aren't Göktürk a family of 2 imaging satellites?

Would any of you venture a guess why a Chinese carrier isn't used in the 2015 launch?

Anyhow, congratz, lots of luck!
