SSM and its contractors declined to disclose many details about Gokturk-1, including its precise ground resolution and details of its capacity to swivel on its axis to take photos in front of and behind the nadir track in addition to side to side.

The 1,000-kilogram Gokturk-1 carries rigid gallium-arsenide solar arrays and high-torque reaction wheels to facilitate swiveling. It is designed to operate for seven years in a 681-kilometer polar sun-synchronous orbit, although Thales Alenia Space officials say it is almost certain to operate much longer than that.

Turkey’s Gokturk-1 Reconnaissance Satellite Finally Cleared for Export

So Gokturk-1 doesn't have to be orbiting over a country to take images of it?

And permitting it to image areas not directly beneath it and thus increasing the revisit rate.

"Turkey, Ukraine To Develop, Build Satellites

Turkey and Ukraine have agreed to share technology in order to jointly develop and build satellites, Turkish military officials said.

Turkey’s state-controlled military software company Havelsan and Ukraine’s weapons systems concern Ukroboronprom signed a memorandum of understanding to join forces on satellite technology with a view to joint development and production, the officials said, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A military official said the memorandum of understanding also involves cooperation to advance aerospace industry work in the future.

“We are pleased to observe that Ukraine is keen to share and develop technology with a NATO member state,” a Turkish procurement official said. “We think we can efficiently cooperate in developing international [NATO] standard systems.”

In February, the two countries, both Russian adversaries, have pledged to build a “strategic” cooperation in the defense industry with a view to co-design, co-develop and co-produce gear.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu visited the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, on Feb. 15 to bolster the regional anti-Russian bloc. On the sidelines of that visit procurement, and defense technology officials from Turkey and Ukraine met and agreed to boost their defense industry cooperation.

Turkey’s top procurement official, Ismail Demir, said that defense industry cooperation with Ukraine was of great importance and would progress even further.

A Turkish government official said that Turkey and Ukraine aimed cooperation primarily in turbojet aircraft engines, radars, military communications technologies and navigation systems.

In December, Turkey’s and Ukraine’s biggest defense firms began negotiations that will most likely end up in a cooperation deal for tank modernization programs. Turkish Aselsan and Ukroboronprom said they were exploring ways to undertake joint programs designed to upgrade tanks."

Nop ! No subsystems will be exported. All satellite elements are undoubtedly “classified” (Secret Defense).

Turkey’s Göktürk-1 satellite has been shipped to Ankara to undergo environmental tests

Thales Alenia Space, Telespazio and SSM, announced that the Göktürk-1 observation satellite for the Turkish Ministry of Defense has been shipped today to Ankara AIT center to start environmental tests. The global contract, signed by Telespazio as the prime contractor and the Turkey’s Ministry of National Defense comprises an Earth observation satellite equipped with a high-resolution optical sensor, a satellite integration and test center to be built in Turkey, and the complete ground segment, in charge of mission control, in-orbit operation, data acquisition and processing. Local industrial partners include TAI, Aselsan, Tübitak UEKAE, Roketsan and TR Teknoloji.

Thales Alenia Space has built the satellite and has developed the integration and test center in Turkey. Telespazio is the Prime Contractor and system integrator and, in addition is responsible of the ground segment, the satellite launch service and launch insurance procurement, the operations of the system including the Launch and Early Orbit Phase, In Orbit Test phase and the Integrated Logistics Support to the End User.

Turkish industry has been involved in the system design and development, as well as supplying some Göktürk-1 system components: TAI provided elements of the satellite payload structure, Aselsan is in charge of the ground segment components image data reception and processing, Tübitak UEKAE in charge of the telecommand and telemetry ciphering devices and TR Teknoloji of the AITC building.

Derived from the Proteus platform developed by Thales Alenia Space, the Göktürk-1 satellite includes a high-resolution optical instrument, derived from its strong heritage in this field of competency. The satellite is now assembled and integrated, it has been shipped to the new satellite integration and test center in Ankara which has been designed to be able to integrate several Satellites concurrently.

Thales Alenia Space, in the frame of the Gokturk-1 contract with Telespazio, will be the first Company in the space industry to deliver a turnkey integration and test center.

The Class 100,000 clean rooms, spanning more than 3,000 square meters, will house all the latest-generation equipment needed for satellite integration and testing. Systems include a mechanical vibration test bench (shaker), a 950 cubic meter acoustic test chamber, a thermal-vacuum chamber measuring over 350 cubic meters, a compact antenna test range and supports for the deployment of solar panels and antennas. Other resources include the system to test the satellite's physical properties (weight, center of gravity, inertia) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test systems.

Prof. Dr. İsmail Demir, Undersecretary for Defence Industries (SSM), “Göktürk-1 Program is a very important milestone for Turkish space and satellite road map. So far, RASAT and Göktürk-2 satellites were manufactured indigenously, launched into the space and operating perfectly. Building on these heritage coupled with the experience gained over Göktürk-1 program, Turkey now intends to manufacture new earth observation and communication satellite systems in Turkey within the state-of-the-art Assembly Integration and Test Center (AITC) facility in Ankara. AIT Center which is going to be operated under responsibility of TUSAŞ is intended to be used both for domestic and international programs.”

Luigi Pasquali, CEO of Telespazio said: “Thanks to its wealth of experience in the Earth observation sector, Telespazio plays a leading role in the major international programmes and, together with its partner in the Space Alliance can offer a wide range of state of art solutions to its customers. This was reflected in Gokturk-1, as prime contractor, in managing the entire system and allowing, through the involvement of Turkish Industries, the development of their expertize, thus paving the way for future cooperation in the export market” .

Jean Loïc Galle, President and CEO of Thales Alenia Space said: “Thales Alenia Space will be the first satellite manufacturer to have built a high resolution optical observation satellite to an export customer and to have delivered an AIT center abroad. This important milestone reflects both a new success of the Space Alliance offer and the capacity of Thales Alenia Space to be the natural partner to countries they want to expand their space program”.

A new Turkish satellite set to launch in December is expected to contribute to the Turkish Armed Forces’ (TSK) fight against terror, daily Milliyet reported on Sept. 16.

The satellite, named Göktürk 1, is scheduled to be launched into space on Dec. 5 from French Guiana in South America.

Göktürk 1 will also be used for civil applications such as controlling forested areas, monitoring illegal construction, quickly determining the extent of damage caused by natural disasters and monitoring harvests.

However Göktürk 1’s primary mission will be to answer the needs of the TSK, especially in the fight against terrorism. The satellite cost Turkey 261.5 million euros and is expected to have a lifespan of seven years. The satellite is expected to be used primarily in Turkey’s eastern and southeastern regions, as well as Iraq and Syria. It is also expected to be used in military operations conducted in Syria.

The new satellite will be able to get high resolution images from lower than 1 meter. The current satellite in use, Göktürk 2, gets high resolution images from 2.5 meters.

The tests of the satellite were conducted in Turkey.
