The GÖKTÜRK-3 Project stands out as a strategic military satellite initiative designed to significantly enhance Türkiye’s space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. The project aims to provide continuous Earth observation regardless of weather conditions or time of day, reinforcing Türkiye’s objective of acquiring independent and sovereign satellite imagery. With its advanced technological infrastructure, GÖKTÜRK-3 is positioned as a critical decision-support asset for national defense, security, and intelligence operations.

The most distinctive feature of the GÖKTÜRK-3 Project is its Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) capability. Thanks to SAR technology, the satellite can generate high-resolution imagery without being affected by clouds, fog, rain, or darkness. This enables uninterrupted data collection for border security, military intelligence, target tracking, and crisis management missions. At the same time, the GÖKTÜRK-3 Project supports Türkiye’s vision of developing indigenous and national space technologies, reducing external dependency and strengthening long-term strategic deterrence in space. In this context, GÖKTÜRK-3 is not merely an observation satellite, but a cornerstone of Türkiye’s growing space power.
