Turkey sent 4 sounding rockets into space last month
Today, I watched two documentaries about private space companies (Blue origin, Space X ) and the race between those two companies and how they are working to achieve their goals. How they reached to this technology in couple of years ? We should speed up our works and we should start designing a reusable missiles. Really, it's a great topic and will be very important to our region if we succeed. I hope we will have a private company that create such a great rockets with advanced technology.

New Recruit
Turkey is just stepped into this area in 2018, iran sent some stuff a decade ago.
for me sending a man into space is waste of resources for TURKEY, iran may pursue it because they are dictatorship and needs to say to its people always "important news".
despite more than a decade of work they have only orbited 40-45 kg micro satellite into space that Turkey probably has this capability today. in the near future Turkey is planning to reach 400km range with a 100kg payload.

MICRO-SATELLITE LAUNCHING SYSTEM
The Micro-Satellite Launching System (MSLS) that will give Turkey independent access to space will be developed by Roketsan under a contract signed between the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) and Roketsan in 2018. Once the MSLS Development Project launched under the contract has been completed, it will be possible to put satellites with a maximum weight of 100 kilograms into a low earth orbit at a minimum altitude of 400 kilometers. In addition to the development of the Micro-Satellite Launching (MSL) Vehicle, Roketsan will also build testing and production facilities as well as a launch base.
Roketsan has been continuing its efforts to develop a satellite launching system since 2007. Roketsan’s Department for the Design of Satellite Launching Systems set up in 2008 was the first department established in Turkey within a defence company charged with undertaking projects concerning satellite launching systems. The MSL Project Preliminary Conceptual Design Period (Period 1) that began in 2013 under an agreement concluded between the SSB and Roketsan related to the development of a Satellite Launching System to meet a requirement of the Air Force Command was completed in 2014. Roketsan’s activities related to space are being carried out by the Space Systems Directorate established under the Department of Advanced Technologies and Systems Group founded in 2015.
Roketsan, says that satellite launching systems are a natural outcome of the company’s growth: “Space projects represent an area in which Turkey has proven its presence, and Roketsan is the only Turkish company developing launch systems, as the most critical components of these projects. With an awareness of the responsibility related to this mission, we have been making preparations for many years. We have significant resources and the necessary know-how for the development of such systems, although we are aware that there is a lot that we need to learn and try, and this is why we continue our efforts at an increasing pace.”
Who has a better space program: Turkey or Iran?
