Artificial Intelligence in Space is the collective set of technologies that enable computer systems to mimic human-like cognitive processes in humanity’s efforts to understand and explore the universe. These technologies are applied across a wide range of fields including mission planning, autonomous system management, big data analysis, astronaut support, and space debris tracking. Artificial intelligence plays a critical role in addressing the uncertainties and challenges inherent in space res

Space station is a platform designed for humans to live, work, and conduct scientific research for extended periods in the vacuum of space. These structures, typically placed in low Earth orbit, differ from other spacecraft in that they lack their own powerful propulsion systems. Instead, they are visited by other spacecraft such as rockets and shuttles, which dock with them to transport astronauts and cargo. Space stations are engineered to remain in orbit for weeks, months, or even years. They

TÜRKSAT 6A is Türkiye’s first fully domestic and national communication satellite. It was developed through a collaboration between TUSAŞ, ASELSAN, and CTech under the project management of TÜBİTAK UZAY. With a launch mass of approximately 4.2 tons and a 16-year operational lifespan, the satellite operates in a geostationary orbit at 42° East. TÜRKSAT 6A provides communication and broadcasting services covering large parts of Türkiye, Europe, Asia, and Africa, featuring more than 20 transponders

Bandırma Füze Kulübü was founded by five high school students at Şehit Mehmet Günenç High School in Bandırma, Balıkesir. The club continued as a community group under the patronage of the “Füze Kültür Kulübü” starting in 1957. As global rocket activities increased, particularly following the successful launch of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik-1 rocket, the club sought to raise awareness through expanded research in space exploration, rockets, missiles, and atomic energy, as well as by delivering lec

Güneş Sistemi outside the stars orbiting exoplanets is a space telescope developed to detect. Its mission is to identify regular brightness variations caused by planets passing in front of particularly nearby and bright stars relative to Earth, thereby identifying new planet candidates. Mission Objective and Scientific Goals The primary objective of TESS is to survey a large portion of the sky to detect numerous exoplanet candidates. Unlike previous space telescopes, TESS adopts an observational

The Bandırma Missile Club was founded by five high school students at Şehit Mehmet Günenç High School in Bandırma, Balıkesir. In 1957, the club continued under the patronage of a community as the "Rocket Culture Club." Following the global increase in rocket activities and especially after the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik-1, the club sought to raise awareness by expanding its research into space exploration, rockets, missiles, and atomic energy, and by organizing lectures. Five hig

The Alcubierre warp drive proposes a theory in which the geometry of spacetime is distorted to enable a spacecraft to exceed the speed of light. According to the warp theory, the spacecraft itself does not travel faster than the speed of light fast. Instead, the spacetime surrounding the craft is warped; this distortion creates a “wave” around the vehicle. As the front of the craft is compressed and the rear expanded, the spacecraft can traverse vast distances in short periods of time short with

Microsatellites are small spacecraft typically weighing between 10 and 100 kilograms. This category forms part of the small satellite (smallsat) family along with even smaller subclasses: nanosatellites (1–10 kg), picosatellites (0.1–1 kg), and femtosatellites (<0.1 kg). Among the earliest examples is Sputnik 1, launched in 1957, which is considered the starting point of this technological lineage due to its mass being close to that of modern microsatellites.Mantzouris, G. “Micro and Pico Sat

Epimetheus, Satürn’ün doğal uydularından biridir ve Satürn’ün halka sistemiyle yakın ilişkisi bulunan küçük, düzensiz uydular arasında yer alır. Epimetheus, yörüngesel özellikleri bakımından Satürn sisteminde özgün bir yörünge düzenine sahip olup, Janus uydusuyla kurduğu karşılıklı yörünge etkileşimiyle tanımlanır. Discovery Process Epimetheus was first observed in 1966 by Richard L. Walker; however, this observation was long confused with that of Janus. The definitive identification of Epimethe
