The Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) aims to launch five Earth observation satellites and military reconnaissance in space as part of their plan to increase the country’s investment in satellite communications. The new fleet will be joining Gokturk-2 Earth observation satellite which was launched December 2012.
To decrease Turkey’s dependency on the U.S GPS, the nation’s Space Group command will spearhead the initiative and plans to develop a Turkish satellite positioning system. Because of the U.S’ command over the GPS, all missiles launched by Turkey can be controlled by the U.S and make trajectory changes.
Presently, the Turkish military uses the national Turksat spacecraft. However, there is no dedicated military communications satellite.
