Göktürk-1 satellite, which will provide images for the Turkish Armed Forces will be launched on December 5 from the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana
Turkey launches a new, highly improved satellite today, intending to use it for military purposes and it is expected to contribute to Turkey's war on terror, border controls and regional searches to a greater extent.
Its launching will be watched in a ceremony held by the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries and the Turkish air forces with the participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Göktürk-1 Satellite's assembly and integration was undertaken by Italian Telespazio and French Thales Alenia Space in the city of Cannes, France.
It will rotate around the earth every 90 minutes and shoot over 60,000 images in a year, then transfer them to the Ground Station of the Air Forces Command.
The satellite, which will convey higher-resolution images compared to its kind in the world, can carry out a wide variety of duties, such as planning, environmental research, border control, cadastral and municipal works, and so on.
