Turkey Reaches Space 4 Times with Indigenous Satellite Launch Tests, Erdoğan Says

Turkey has successfully completed satellite launch tests and has reached space four times using fully indigenous engineering capabilities, the nation’s president announced Thursday.

“We have already said we are in the space league,” Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said at the inauguration ceremony of a new facility for Turkish defense giant Aselsan in the capital Ankara.

“I want to say that we have illuminated the darkness of space once again thanks to our national technology. We have successfully completed our national satellite launch tests. In these tests, we have reached space four times,” Erdoğan said.
