BAYKAR Chairman of the Board of Directors Selçuk Bayraktar:

We will launch our first satellite with Fergani in 2025.

What's new here is that we are developing low orbit constellations entirely with our own resources.


-------


Here's an article from 6 months ago about what this new company is working on:


Last August, Baykar CTO Selçuk Bayraktar announced the establishment of a new company called Fergani, capable of competing in the space field even with big names like SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk. We saw the first concrete steps taken before the end of their first year, as the Fergani Team Satellite Project was launched.

After last year’s Teknofest, Baykar Defense Technical Director Selçuk Bayraktar participated in a TV program and shed light on the future of the company, pointing to space. Indeed, the future of aviation and technology lies here.

Of course, we can say that the company started with hand-launched aerial vehicles, followed by the 650 kg Bayraktar TB2 and then the 6-ton Akıncı, which means they are making solid progress. We know that the next target is the development of the unmanned fighter jet project MIUS/Kızılelma in the next 15-year period.

Fergani Launches Ambitious Team Satellite Project for 2024
However, the company seems to be turning its face to space in the near future, if not entirely. As Selçuk Bayraktar stated that they founded a new space and aviation company called Fergani and that they could compete with big companies like SpaceX in some areas and also work together with their projects. Indeed, the first project emerged before the end of the announcement year.

The Team Satellite Project, developed by Fergani, a subsidiary of Baykar, has rolled up its sleeves for the satellites to be developed within Baykar using domestic resources, including subsystems. It was revealed that the first test satellite is planned to be launched in 2024. Right after that, we may see many experimental satellites. However, Fergani will not just produce and send satellites into space. So, what can we expect?

What will Fergani do?
Fergani will initially start developing low Earth orbit satellite systems. Here, like SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet company, it will focus on transporting small-sized satellites to LEO orbits (160 km – 2,000 km).

About CMSX10: "We also poured the new generation of the material we made, this cmx 10 is its new generation and we made it so well by our young engineers. They did it so well that this cmx 10 is the 3rd generation Single Crystal wing material. We made the alloy, we casted it, We made a test sample and we tested it, it was 30% better than the imported one."
