ROKETSAN’s Domestic Space Launch Vehicle: Ground Tests by the End of 2026

ROKETSAN‘s developed Micro Satellite Launch System (MUFS) ground tests will begin at the end of 2026. The project is a critical step in Turkey’s domestic space access capability.

Special Design for Micro Satellites

MUFS is designed to carry micro satellites in the 100 kg class to low Earth orbit (LEO) with a small payload capacity. This market serves the rapidly growing global micro satellite sector in recent years.

Domestic Fuel System

All propulsion layers of the system were developed domestically. The fuel chemistry knowledge that ROKETSAN has gained over the years in ballistic missiles and long-range systems has been directly transferred to the MUFS project.

Space Strategy

In the 10-year plan of the Turkish Space Agency, the development of domestic launch capability is among the top priorities. MUFS is positioned as the first operational step towards this goal.
