An exciting mission in space technology is about to commence: the Transporter-12 mission, conducted by SpaceX, aims to simultaneously deploy numerous satellites into orbit. This mission will host various commercial and scientific projects, including the domestic satellites produced by Plan-S, the Connecta IoT series (Connecta IoT-5, 6, 7, 8). Here are the details!
Plan-S – Ongoing Collaboration with SpaceX!
As part of the Transporter-12 mission, the Plan-S Connecta IoT satellites are seen as a significant step forward in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These satellites are designed to enhance data transfer speeds and enable more frequent data updates in orbit. With these capabilities, they will pave the way for innovative solutions across industries such as agriculture, logistics, environmental monitoring, and energy.
Developed by Plan-S, the Connecta IoT series showcases the success of domestic engineering and production in the field of space technology. The launch of these satellites will further emphasize the country’s ambitions in space innovation.
In collaboration with SpaceX, Plan-S will utilize the Falcon 9 rocket to carry the Connecta IoT satellites into orbit. SpaceX’s reliable launch services are critical for the successful deployment of these domestic satellites. Additionally, the Falcon 9’s reusable rocket technology significantly reduces costs, enabling the realization of more space projects.
When Will the Domestic Satellites Be Launched?
The Transporter-12 mission is scheduled to take place on January 14, 2025, at 8:49 PM Turkish time. The Falcon 9 rocket will launch numerous satellites, including Plan-S’s Connecta IoT series, into a sun-synchronous orbit. This historic moment marks a turning point in Turkey’s space endeavors.
