Market Growth Factors

The 6U and 12U CubeSat designs included in the CubeSat ecosystem in Turkey, with the advantage of miniaturization, greatly improved efficiency, reliability and functionality. These CubeSats are equipped with high-resolution imaging, IoT data transmission with high precision, and the capability of real-time observation of the Earth's surface. Locally produced atomic clocks and processors enable improved accuracy in position and timing determination independently of the related infrastructure of any foreign navigation system. The system designs of several providers are based on modularity and the use of standard components to cut production costs and reduce lead time. The commercial launch of large constellations of government and military satellites on commercial launchers such as SpaceX, while expediting delivery much faster than government launchers could alone, also accelerates technology development and operational experience.

IoT, smart farming, infrastructure and environmental monitoring, and disaster management are some of the potential applications for Turkey CubeSats, that will enable the collection and processing of data in real time for multiple domains at a fraction of the cost. Satellite IoT networks offer connectivity in the remote and rural areas, energy management, precision farming and supply chain applications. CubeSats are utilized by the military for independent communications and observation in geopolitical conflict and civilian/commercial use to attract private sector investments in research, development, and deployment, thus contributing to the market. Partnerships with countries like Italy allow for the development of technology, operational experience, and commercialization efforts, diversifying revenue channels and creating a domestic satellite ecosystem that turns Turkey into a regional CubeSat hub.

Government and private sectors have been investing in the domestic satellite market, and the Turkish National Space Program prioritizes small satellites and CubeSats with the aim of enabling technological sovereignty in the use of satellite systems. Investments include research and development, industrial infrastructure, and collaborations with universities and the private sector. Through CubeSats, Plan-S and Baykar and other companies want to scale IoT communications, Earth observation, and remote sensing. Domestic supply of planned components, such as the antennas and orientation system, ensures sovereign control over production, cost effective solutions, and compliance with market trends and government initiatives like the BKZS project for sovereign positioning and timing. Increased funding, improved manufacturing capabilities, and fancier policies will foster a developing market and opportunities for local developers and service providers.
