Turkish space technology company sends off fresh satellites to space
(MENAFN) Turkish space technology company Plan-S successfully sent four new satellites into orbit aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket during the Transporter-14 mission.
Founded in 2021, Plan-S specializes in developing advanced satellite and space technologies. The company focuses on Internet of Things (IoT) communications, Earth observation, and remote sensing through its network of satellites operating in low Earth orbit.
Plan-S’s satellite-based IoT system, known as the Connecta IoT Network, offers energy-efficient, affordable, and reliable connectivity, linking millions of devices across industries such as energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and logistics.
Prior to this launch, Plan-S had deployed 13 satellites, including test units, to build its network. The recent addition of four satellites from the SpaceX mission further expanded their constellation, with all new satellites now in orbit.
These four satellites enhance the network’s data processing capabilities and improve service quality. They boost data collection frequency by 40% compared to earlier satellite generations and enable gigabit-speed data access through a constellation of 12 satellites.
Plan-S engineers designed and produced the IoT antennas and orientation systems onboard these satellites, promoting technological self-reliance and lowering production costs.
Looking ahead, the company aims to establish a large satellite network composed of hundreds of satellites by the year 2030.
