Türkiye, one of the 30 satellite-owning countries, is counting down to send the Turksat 5A, a fifth-generation communication satellite, to the space on November 30. There are 3 communication and 3 observation satellites in the active satellite fleet of our country. In addition to Turksat 3A, 4A and 4B satellites that meet the existing communication needs, Gokturk-1, Gokturk-2 and Rasat satellites are also making observations. Turksat 5A, which is planned to be placed in 31 degree east orbit, will be sent to acquire new frequency rights. On the other hand, it is planned to increase the capacity of the Turksat 5B satellite with an eastern orbit of 42 degrees to acquire new frequency rights. With the new generation satellites, the capacity to provide broadband Internet from the satellite will also be provided in addition to broadcasting.
