A Turkish sounding rocket has been successfully launched from a launch site in Igneada, the Turkish Space Agency said. The launch was a test as part of a project to launch microsatellites into orbit.
The rocket is developed using its own engineering technologies, the Turkish Space Agency noted in “X” (formerly Twitter). The main systems were developed by the Turkish company Roketsan. The corporation also reported a successful launch in “X”.
The estimated height that the rocket must reach is 550 km. Roketsan launches a rocket to such a height for the first time. The launch was made within the framework of the Microsatellite Launch System project. The goal is to launch microsatellites into an orbit with a height of 300–400 km.
