Initiated in early 2015 and officially started by the end of 2016, Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) Student Small Satellite (SSS) program aims student and faculties training from Member States (Bangladesh, China, Iran, Mongolia, Pakistan, Peru, Thailand and Turkey) by involving them in a real satellite design project where they can experience the whole life cycle of a space mission. With this, the program also targets capacity building and human resource development. Within the scope of the program, a constellation of three satellites, one micro satellite (SSS-1) and two 3U cube satellites (SSS-2A and SSS-2B), will be designed, manufactured and operated. In this paper, educational and technical activities of the APSCO SSS project will be presented from the perspective of SSS-2B cube satellite. The framework for an effective education program will be discussed considering the dynamics and common interests between the international actors ranging from governmental and public institutions to universities and non-governmental organizations. First, the education approach and programs such as three-week long summer camps will be presented. Next, the preliminary design outputs of SSS-2B satellite including mission and system specifications will be summarized

A mission analysis software for small satellites Koprücü, Salih Ulaş; Özçelik, Salih Abdullah; Altunay, Şulenur; Yağlıoğlu, Burak; Tekinalp, Ozan (null; 2019-09-18) In this paper, a mission analysis software is described for LEO small satellites which is developed by students participating in the APSCO (Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization) Student Small Satellite (SSS) project. The software currently includes several functionalities such as orbit propagation with the options of SGP4 and numerical integration as well as calculation of groundtracks, eclipse durations, solar and albedo fluxes on the satellite panels, communication intervals, imaging opportunities ...
Feasibility study on thermal survivability of X-Band subsystem on RASAT microsatellite Okan, A (2005-06-11) After the launch and commissioning of the first Turkish remote sensing satellite BILSAT-1(center dot), TUBITAK BILTEN has initiated the RASAT microsatellite project. RASAT will be a remote sensing microsatellite at low Earth orbit (LEO), with a mass of around 100 kg and an orbital average power of 38W. RASAT is planned to he launched in 2007 and will be the first satellite to be designed and manufactured entirely in Turkey.
First LEO Satellite Built in Turkey: RASAT YÜKSEL, GÖKHAN; OKAN, ALTUĞ; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat (2007-06-16) BiLSAT* project was the first step to initiate and to improve satellite technologies in Turkey and it covered all major steps to establish the necessary infrastructure in Turkey to design, build and test a LEO satellite entirely in the country. As a second step, RASAT project has been initiated in year 2004. Except for some systems; like imaging system and solar panels, the technology of which are not yet available in Turkey; RASAT Will totally be built and integrated at TUBITAK-UZAY facilities. The imaging...
The Small Satellite Odyssey of Turkey Leloğlu, Uğur Murat (null; 2008-06-07) In early 1990’s, the lack of substantial work in space technologies in Turkey has caused intense discussions, which led to efforts that have resulted in the establishment of the Satellite Technologies Group in TÜBİTAK UZAY (TÜBİTAK BİLTEN at that date) and launching of a small satellite technology transfer project in 1998. With this start-up project, the first seeds of space technology development capability have been cultivated. In order to accelerate the germination process of that specific technology, fo...
A new generation on-board computer and solid state data recorder suitable for SpaceWire platforms Durna, Mehmet; Urhan, Hakan; Turhan, Onur; Kozal, Oemer; Gueruen, Melike (2007-06-16) TUBITAK-UZAY (previously TUBITAK-BILTEN) has launched a new satellite mission project known as RASAT after BILSAT-1's successful launch. In RASAT, the aim is to develop new subsystems those will replace the legacy systems incrementally which are off-performance or obsolete. OBDH subsystem on BILSAT-1 platform contains systems with obsolete parts, like on-board computers. Also, in future's earth imaging satellite missions, large amount of data will likely be generated on-board, increasing the performance req...
