Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday presented to the public 10 points of the National Space Program, where the first place is the launch of a domestically produced hybrid rocket into space in 2023, which will land on the Moon.
“The main and most important mission of the program is the first contact with the Moon in the centenary year of our republic. Turkey opens the door to the "space travel" of its civilization, which for centuries has been a pioneer of justice, morality and peace throughout the world, ”the head of state said, noting that the program has been prepared and will be implemented by the Turkish Space Agency (TUA).
Among the goals of the National Space Program, President Erdogan named the creation of a brand that can compete on the world stage in the development of new generation satellites.
