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.
How does the ground station subscription work?
For a fixed monthly fee you get a set number of passes (starter: 60 passes/month, ₺90,000). Extra passes are billed per pass. Telemetry and data are streamed directly to your cloud environment.
How do you implement your space-debris mitigation plan?
All our satellites are designed with propulsion or a drag sail to re-enter the atmosphere within five years of mission end. Details are on the Responsible Space Policy page.
