Work on national space technologies that strengthen the vision of the scientific and technical independence of Turkey continues at a rapid pace. Within this framework, tests for the production and cosmic compatibility of the hybrid motor installation of the device, which will be sent to space for the lunar mission, are successfully conducted.
According to the information received by the Anadola agency in the Turkish Space Agency (TUA), as part of the lunar mission, carried out under the leadership of the agency, a spacecraft developed completely on domestic and national technologies, will reach the lunar orbit and collect scientific data.
as part of the project, the purpose of which is to demonstrate the competence of Turkey in the field of space technology and engineering potential in the international arena, the spacecraft developed by Tübi̇tak Uzay will be maneuvering in the lunar orbit, using its own orientation systems and motor plants. This advanced technological platform, which will collect high -precision data from the lunar surface, will open a new chapter in the scientific space research of Turkey.
critical systems – products of domestic mechanical engineering
The most important components of the spacecraft are created using domestic engineering potential.
The flight computer (the spacecraft control equipment), the payload interfaces, the motor installation and thermal control control systems, energy distribution units, stationary solar batteries, communication systems, reactive wheels, inertial measuring unit and structural elements are fully produced within the country. Special materials, such as multi -layer insulating blankets that are resistant to cosmic conditions, are also developed in Turkey.
The payload includes scientific equipment, such as video cameras, visual navigation systems, radiation dosimeters and calorimeters. It is assumed that the data that will be obtained from the lunar surface will contribute to both scientific research and the technological know-how of Turkey.
A hybrid motor installation that will be used in the spacecraft is developed by the domestic technological company DELTAV. While production tests and compatibility tests are successfully continued, the last test conducted with a two -stage hybrid missile system has reached a height of more than 200 kilometers, breaking a height record achieved with hybrid missile engines.
The lunar mission will not only demonstrate the advanced level achieved by Turkey in the field of national space technologies, but also make a significant contribution to the implementation of the concept of scientific and technical independence of the country.
