KEY POINTS

  • Fergani Uzay launched its sixth experimental satellite, FRG-100D4
  • The 160-kilogram satellite carries communication and navigation capabilities
  • It launched from Cape Canaveral as part of SpaceX's Bandwagon-5 mission
  • Satellite separation occurred 63 minutes after liftoff at 15:07 Turkish time
  • It entered a target orbit at 590 kilometers altitude

Fergani Uzay's sixth experimental satellite, FRG-100D4, was launched into space and reached its target orbit, beginning its mission. The 160-kilogram next-generation domestic satellite is equipped with communication and navigation capabilities.

The launch took place at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in the United States as part of SpaceX's Bandwagon-5 mission. Baykar confirmed the development in an official statement.

“This satellite represents an important stage in terms of localizing equipment and subsystems.”

The satellite separated from the launch vehicle approximately 63 minutes after liftoff, at 15:07 Turkish time. It subsequently entered its target orbit at an altitude of 590 kilometers.

FRG-100D4 carries fully domestic components developed by Fergani, including a reaction wheel, magnetic torquer, magnetometer, IMU, GNSS receiver, steerable solar panels, battery pack, regenerative modem, and phased array antenna. It also hosts an artificial intelligence-supported computer for advanced missions.

The satellite represents a significant step for the Uluğ Bey Team Satellite System, which Fergani aims to complete with more than 200 satellites within five years using its own resources.
