WHAT IS A MODEL SATELLITE CONTEST?
TÜRKSAT Model Satellite Competition is a design-build-launch competition. It provides competitors with the opportunity to experience the process of designing a space / satellite system, from its launch to mission. The TURKSAT Model Satellite Competition is planned to reflect a space / satellite project on a small scale. It covers all aspects of a space / satellite project, from design to production and post-mission review. Competition; It is designed to reflect various aspects of real systems with features such as meeting telemetry and communication requirements, providing autonomous structure and developing a system that works between disciplines.
EXPERIENCE SHARING
The TURKSAT Model Satellite Competition aims to provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to transform theoretical knowledge into practice and to gain interdisciplinary study skills. In addition, students share their experiences with other university teams; It is aimed to have the opportunity to communicate with institutions, companies, experts and engineers operating in the sector.
