The project GÖKTÜRK-2 Satellite will be the first National Earth Observation Satellite which has been funded by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) resources.
The contract was signed by the Ministry of Defense (MoD), The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) and TUBİTAK UZAY-TAI Consortium on 13 April 2007, which has become effective on 1th May 2007.
With the GÖKTÜRK-2 Project, not only the national capabilities and resources for the Space systems (such as new technologies, experienced manpower and possession of new infrastructures) will be developed, but the image requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces and other public institutions will also be met.
The best news out of this is Turkey is proceeding exactly according to her Space Program plan..No delays..I cant wait for 2015 to see our first SAR satellite!!
