Sounding rocket and small satellite launch missions

Launch Services

Sounding rockets for scientific microgravity experiments and a small launcher service to low Earth orbit.

From ₺1.2 million per experiment

Our launch services are offered in three classes: SR-series sounding rockets for university experiments, the ÜF-250 hybrid–liquid launcher for commercial payloads, and tactical rocket platforms for test flights.

SR-8 sounding rocket

Maximum altitude 120 km, payload capacity 35 kg, microgravity duration about three minutes. In the first scientific campaign in 2025, 11 university experiments were flown.

Operations

Set-up at our coastal test range takes five days. Safety, airspace and sea-area coordination are carried out with the competent authorities.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer satellite launch services?
Currently we fly scientific payloads with the SR-8 sounding rocket. The first orbital launch with the ÜF-250 is planned for 2029. In the meantime we offer rideshare launch integration services.
How can a university join an SR-8 campaign?
The campaign is announced each January. Applications are made with a form covering mass (max. 35 kg), power and data requirements, plus a scientific rationale. There is no application fee; integration cost starts at ₺1.2 million per experiment.
Why are the technical specifications of your products shared only in part?
For defence products, detailed technical data is shared only with authorised institutions after an eligibility review, as required by export control legislation. General presentation information is on this site.
Can third parties use your test facilities?
Yes. We provide hourly or project-based services for vibration, thermal vacuum, shock and static firing tests. Test plans comply with ECSS and MIL-STD requirements.
Is a security clearance required for internships and jobs?
Yes. A security clearance and background check is carried out for all positions. The process takes 4–8 weeks on average.
