Türkiye has begun construction of a space launch facility in Somalia, marking the country's entry into an exclusive group of nations with oceanside spaceports, Board Chairman of Baykar Selcuk Bayraktar announced on Thursday."Türkiye now has a space launch station. Normally, you need to be by the ocean. Türkiye has a 30 kilometer by 30 kilometer area in Somalia," Bayraktar said during a panel at Take Off İstanbul 2025."When you have oceanside access, you can deploy launch vehicles, meaning you have a spaceport. There are 12 such places in the world. Because Somalia is part of our heartland geography, there will be a space station there," he noted."Construction has been started by the state. Roketsan will also use it. Allah willing, we will also have the opportunity to use our launch vehicle there," Bayraktar added.
>>524535003space pirates this soon?
this Bayraktar guy in turkey already made a unmanned fighter jet in Bayraktar Kızılelma to go against Anduril and theil, now a spaceport in somalia to go agiant elon, is this whats behind the zionist crowd and elons crusade on somalis reccently on twitter and netanyahu recognizing somaliland randomly?
Turkey into Ottoman speedrun
>>524535003Are they building it in somalia because they know its just going to blow up?
>>524535003How the fuck are they affording all this shit and where did they get the know how.
Thank you Minnesota
>>524535003>Türkiyewhat this new idiocy ? who cares about how they call their country. the name is Turkey.
>>524535003they could have reused the spaceport in Malindi,Kenya abandoned by 'it*ly' 30 years ago.
Michigan wants to build a spaceport next to the Great Lakes.
>>524535638Thats retardedLaunches need to be near the equator
>>524535714But Michigan doesn't have land near the equator so if they want their own spaceport, they're limited in where it can go. States usually can't grab land in other countries. In reality, Oscoda is meant for polar orbits, so being near the equator would be counterproductive.
A month ago Israel basically claimed this as a covert Turkish missile launch site, possibly Somali nukes lol, since then it has recognized somaliland, expect a Turkish Israeli proxy war there soon, they won’t let Somalia’s space port to last
>>524535003>TürkiyeTurkey When did the timeline shift from the non homosexual version fellas?
>>524535374The Turks seem to be developing these new technologies pretty well with their drones and unmanned aircraft
>>524536129They're also trying to push the expression 'west asia' instead of 'middle east'. 'middle east' sounds too eurocentric to thirdies.
>>524535459The poster is a vpn nigger or a smelly retard jeet in a Love's truck stop shitter fucking up my piss break. No one spells it like that from the US
They will just beg euros and ESA for help like jeets did
>>524536236they have 1M stockpiled drones apparently. they're preparing something.
>>524535328It's on the equator which makes it far more fuel efficient for low inclination orbits such as geostationary.
>>524536090Now it makes sense why Bibi decided to recognize Somaliland all of a sudden.
>>524535003>launch facility in SomaliaRocketry needs every advantage it can get and strictly in geographic terms it doesn't get much better. What hardware are they planning on launching out of there?
>>524536555These fucking rats man, I tell ya what
>>524536129In Dutch it has always been "Turkije".The (old) English word missed a syllable like "aluminum" instead of aluminium.
>>524535863You can have illegal niggers or spaceports, you cant have both
>>524536236Yeah but where the fuck is the money and the engineers coming from.Its a shithole but they are just randomly buildings drones, jets and now spaceports?
>>524535258hardly, though turkey is a model europe should learn from, arming yourself with your own means is a political decision not something only few countries can do, but all that political nonsense is because turkey also is run by a retard monkey man
>>524535714>Launches need to be near the equatorIt depends on the inclination of the orbit.The latitude of the launch side is the minimum inclination you can reach efficiently.You can always launch to a higher inclination but if you want to go lower the rocket has to make a turn which is extremely costly.
>>524536670too bad we don't use dutch or turkic pronunciation when we speak in english, in which the country is called turkey
>>524535003I thought you said space laundry facility heh
>>524535003>Allah willing, we will also have the opportunity to use our launch vehicle thereTo bomb Israel?
>>524537059To serve Israel.
>>524535258When Israel bombs the fuck out of Turkey, I want you to revert back to your gay little post. Fuck yourselves!
>space launch facility in somalia
>>524536753turkey found like 40 billion barrels of crude in somalia, im guessing they are using that for the funding, and the engineering seems to be in house
>>524537244idk how anybody can look at Turdgay and believe (((the economy)) is real.You can have giga inflation and a gdp per capita lower than the Balkans and build aircraft carriers, unmanned fighter jets and space ports. Meanwhile Europe with all its supposed wealth struggles to build a simple munitions factory. Embarrassing.
>>524535258>to go againstTurkey has no launch vehicle lol
>>524536682High latitude launch sites are good at shooting bulk mass off the Earth. Seems like a solution just waiting to be implemented.
>>524537183Kek
>>524537885To the moon?
>>524535060fpbp, wtf everyone?
>>524537244It was 20 billion barrels
>>524535003The fuck is Turkiye? Is it near Kyiv?Only places I ever heard of are Turkey and Kiev.>>524536343>No one spells it like that from the USThe US is full of fags who do that kind of shit tho.
>>524536596>What hardware are they planning on launching out of there?
Heh.They're building the Roach Coach. It'll be piloted by those weird aliens in the coffee room in Men in Black.
>>524536596You can tell it's real because it looks so fake!
>>524540497Make masonic buttfuckers seethe with this one easy trick.
>>524535060I hope so! Hunting space pirates is my favorite part of space trading games.
>>524536291TRVE ROMANS WILL CALL IT ASIA MINOR
