TstarL-100 Earth Observation Satellite Platform
TstarL-100 is TÜBİTAK UZAY’s low-Earth-orbit satellite platform, flown by İMECE in 2023. It builds on engineering experience from RASAT and GÖKTÜRK-2 and accommodates Earth-observation payloads in sun-synchronous and other LEO missions. The institute specifies up to 150 kg payload capacity, up to 3 kW output power and a design life exceeding five years. The platform includes xenon-fuelled Hall-effect propulsion and agile attitude control. Spacecraft mass and imaging resolution depend on the payload configuration; İMECE’s mission specifications describe one implemented spacecraft.
