Turkey's satellite and space to reduce dependence on foreign employment for the first Particle Radiation Testing Infrastructure is starting to work.
According to the information received, conducted by the Department of Defense Industries Presidential Turkey's first Particle Radiation Testing Engine installation was performed. The test infrastructure is intended to test the resistance of critical satellite components to the radiation environment there before being sent to space, thereby reducing external dependence in this area.
Within the framework of Turkey's 2023 targets under the abilities needed in the field of space Particle Radiation Testing Infrastructure Installation Project was launched. The project aimed to test the electronic components or materials used in space systems against the effects of particle radiation in space.
Head of Strategy and Budget projects supported by the Presidency, was developed using Turkey Atomic Energy Authority Proton Accelerator Facility. Turkey's first feature Particle Radiation Testing Infrastructure carrying the METU-Scattering Harness Line, Middle East Technical University Department of Physics Prof. Dr. Bilge Demirköz is the director of METU IVME-R (Space and Accelerator Technologies Application and Research Center).
