RASAT is the first earth observation satellite designed and manufactured by Turkish engineers, will be launched into space the Yasny launch base, located in southwest Russia on the border with Kazakhstan.
RASAT is being built by the Research Council of Turkey Scientific and Technological Research and the Institute of Space Technology called TUBITAK-UZAY and sponsored by the State Planning Organization-DPT).
The first satellite developed entirely by Turkish engineers in all its stages, from design, production and testing, will be released next year, according to information broadcast by the Anatolia news agency. The agreement for the satellite launch RASAT was signed last month between officials and the company TUBITAK ISC Kosmotras launch.
The RASAT program objective is to provide the necessary infrastructure to assemble, integrate and test small satellites in Turkey independently and without external support. Additionally, the images acquired by the RASAT be used for urban and regional planning and agricultural and forestry studies.
Produced with the aim of showing Turkey's ability to produce satellites, RASAT be launched by a launch vehicle Russian-Ukrainian Dnepr operated by ISC Kosmotras. The Dnepr launch vehicle was developed from the modification of ICBMs, ICBM, the SS-18. Dnepr is known as the most effective launch vehicle used for launching low-orbit satellites mini. RASAT The campaign will be launched in the Dnepr program number 17. This satellite will contribute very significantly to increase the potential of Turkey in the high technology sector.

(*) We must remember that Turkey had its current satellite capacity building through its first program to have a satellite earth observation itself, the BILSAT-1, which was developed by British company Surrey Satellite Technology limitied-SSTL , a project which developed an extensive technology transfer program, whose results can be seen today, Turkish engineers building their own satellite earth observation.
This is a clear and compelling example of what Peru has to seek to implement its National Operations Center-Satellite Image CNOIS, ie find an experienced strategic partner to enable us to develop our country REAL capacity for development and technological independence in the aerospace field.
(**) Peru should think big and aim for technological independence, and this is only possible to work hand in hand with the best. From here a call to reflection, so that by implementing our own satellite system for CNOIS, is chosen the best alternative at the best cost benefit.
is also important to learn from the mistakes of others ... see the example of our southern neighbor, which according to several sources SSOT project develops cost well above the original budget and a work schedule more a year of delay (in terms of technology is an eternity) and without even a definite date of release. On the other hand, we also have proposals from countries like Spain, who have never developed a single satellite itself, so its technology transfer program would simply VOID, and also going through a serious economic crisis in its fledgling aerospace industry, delays in payments to the European Space Agency, and future plans to launch satellites with obsolete technology and something really costs and millionaires.
(*) Thank you for your broadcast.
