Turkey successfully launches its Turkset B-5 satellite

The Turkish B-5 satellite was successfully launched yesterday evening from the Cape Canaveral base in the US state of Florida.

The satellite was launched with a balcony rocket owned by SpaceX, according to TRT.

Apart from Turkey, Turkset B-5 is said to cover a wide area, including the entire Middle East, Gulf, Red Sea, Mediterranean, North and East Africa, Nigeria, South Africa and neighboring countries.

The capacity of this satellite is more than the capacity of all current satellites in Turkey, and with the start of operation, the communication capacity of that country will increase 15 times.

With the high capacity of the data provided by this satellite, access to places in Turkey that are not accessible with terrestrial infrastructure will be possible and internet infrastructure will be created.

It should be noted that with the launch of Turkset 5B into space, the number of active communication satellites in Turkey will increase to 5 and the total number of satellites to 8.
