ASELSAN marked its 50th anniversary with major milestones — Çelik Kubbe system deliveries, the groundbreaking of the Oğulbey Technology Base, and the inauguration of 14 new facilities attended by President Erdoğan.

While the Turkish Stars flew just 100 meters above ground at 740 km/h, the Göktürk-1 satellite—orbiting 686 km above Earth—captured high-resolution images, showcasing Türkiye’s powerful satellite intelligence capability.

DeltaV’s two-stage hybrid rocket system reached an altitude of over 200 kilometers, breaking a global record for hybrid propulsion. The SSB emphasized that the achievement is a major step toward Türkiye’s National Space Program goals.

Under a new agreement between TUSAŞ and Delta-V, Turkey will launch a domestically produced micro-satellite into orbit using a national launch system for the first time. This milestone positions Turkey among a select group of nations with independent launch capability and could significantly impact future military and missile technologies.

TUSAŞ will launch its high-resolution electro-optical micro satellite using DELTA V’s indigenous propulsion system, with 0.9m and 0.5m resolution models to follow.

Developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries, ANKA III stayed airborne for 2 hours during its third test flight, reaching 160 knots and 10,000 feet altitude.

DARPA and Aurora Flight Sciences developed the X-65 prototype, an aircraft that maneuvers using pressurized air instead of traditional control surfaces, marking a new aviation era.

Held in Istanbul, SAHA EXPO presented Türkiye’s indigenous defense and space technologies—from unmanned systems to advanced electronics—to both industry experts and the public.
