National Satellite Fergani Fgn-100-D1 Started a New Era in Orbit

Fergani Space and FGN-100-d1 Satellite: A New Step in Turkey's Space Adventure

Ferghani Space, draws attention with the breakthroughs it has made in the field of technology and space. Baykar Chairman of the Board and Technology Leader Selcuk This company was founded by FGN-100-d1 successfully launched the satellite, which it named, from the Vandenberg Space Force Base of the United States at 22.09:XNUMX. This launch means that Turkey's largest satellite produced by the private sector has been sent into space.

Features of FGN-100-d1 Satellite

FGN-100-d1, weighs 102 kilograms and Rideshare Program within Transporter-12 It reached space with its mission. Approximately 62 minutes after launch, at 23.11:XNUMX Turkey time, it successfully entered its orbit. This satellite will serve in both positioning and communication fields by undertaking the task of a constellation of satellites called a low orbit constellation.

Goals of Fergani Space

Bayraktar, which will be operational in 2022 Ferghani Space He stated that the initiative has become a family of 106 people to date. With the first satellite being put into orbit, Turkey has taken another important step in the field of space. Bayraktar emphasized the national technology by saying, “We carried out this project entirely with our own resources.”

Ulugh Beg Global Positioning System

Bayraktar, who stated that the FGN-100-d1 satellite has now reached its 500-kilometer orbit and successfully performed its first maneuvers, said, “Hopefully, we will have reached 5 satellites in 100 years and developed our global positioning system, which we call Ulugh Beg.” This system will be shared with friendly and brotherly geographies and will enable Turkey to gain an important place in space technologies.

Launch and Orbit Process

Launch and orbital journey of the FGN-100-d1 satellite, Özdemir Bayraktar National Technology CenterIt was monitored from the Space Observation and Control Center located in. The satellite is intended to successfully test its in-orbit operation, telemetry-telecommand communication, positioning and payload communication capabilities.

National Satellite Development Process

Ferghani Space The engineering team successfully completed the tests of mission-critical avionics equipment, domestic software integration and the engine with green propulsion technology during the development process. The project aims to strongly advance Turkey's space ecosystem and space technologies.

In-Orbit Performance of FGN-100-d1 Satellite

FGN-100-d1 will operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at an altitude of about 510 kilometers and in Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO). This satellite will orbit the Earth approximately 7,6 times a day, moving at a speed of 15 km/s. This feature will increase the satellite's data collection and transmission capacity.

Future Goals of Fergani Space

While Fergani Space is completing the constellation of satellites, it is also continuing the development of a launch vehicle weighing 50 tons and capable of carrying 1,5 tons into orbit. These developments will strengthen Turkey's place in international space projects.

Turkey's Role in Space Technologies

Fergani Space and FGN-100-d1 have been an important step towards realizing Turkey’s goals in the space field. These advances in space technologies will enable our country to gain a stronger position in the global race. Bayraktar thanked all team members who contributed to this process, saying, “May it bring good luck and fortune to our country and nation.”
