Türkiye's Lunar Mission Set for 2027 Launch with Hybrid Propulsion System
Türkiye aims to launch its lunar spacecraft in early 2027, marking a significant advancement in its space capabilities. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance independent access to space and develop a domestic space ecosystem.

Türkiye plans to initiate its lunar mission in the first months of 2027, utilizing a domestically developed hybrid propulsion system that has successfully cleared all testing phases. This mission is expected to enhance Türkiye's technological capabilities, previously limited to a few nations, and is complemented by the development of an equatorial spaceport in Somalia to facilitate satellite launches.
The Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Institution (TUBITAK) has been pivotal in these advancements. In addition to lunar endeavors, Türkiye is expanding its satellite capabilities through projects like Turksat 6A and Gokturk-2.
This growing space infrastructure is integral to Türkiye's defense strategy and international cooperation efforts, aiming for participation in crewed space missions. The upcoming International Astronautical Congress in Antalya will showcase Türkiye's aspirations in the global space industry.
