I think this is very nice achivement but at same time I'm wondering how is it possible that Elon Musks SpaceX is able to dev. and build such huge rocket in such short time but a state as TR still isn't? It is essential for a state to have those capabilitys so why does it take that long to do it? Anyway my congrat to TR, I'm real admirer what has been achived in defence and civil industries in past 2 decades. Bravo

Regulations, know how, experience etc. The list can be much much more longer than we are expecting.
Elon Musk found the right time, with enough money to survive. If SpaceX could not reach the space one more year today we would not know to SpaceX. On the other hand state companies, organisations need to more careful especially if they don't have enough experience in this field.

I guess there is something we can learn the Isreali design to our future launch system. Due to the geographic problems we will make a similar system to their Shavit

Turkey's Glonass GPS as it will reduce the dependence on foreign global positioning system consisting of six satellites planned to use in their National Positioning System (MKBS) image showing the placement.

"In addition, it was decided that it would be beneficial to deploy a miniature Rb atomic clock by TÜBİTAK UME as a payload to KÜPSAT satellite and to make a project to make a history of TÜBİTAK UME atomic clock production works."

Someone explain the importance of the atomic clock?

Only an atomic clock is accurate enough for a global positioning system. Otherwise you would get accuracy in the 100's of meters.

Anyone got a good overview/article about space developments in Turkey private and government?

Btw Bülent Altan, former chief engineer at Space X has invested in the German start-up Isar Aerospace. According to Morgan Stanley, the Satelite launch market will grow times x3 by 2025 to around 8bln € p.a.
