International Space Station

A fighter pilot poised to become Turkey's first person in orbit and three other astronauts representing Europe were set for launch on Thursday headed for the International Space Station in the latest commercially arranged mission from Texas startup Axiom Space.

NASA has unveiled the launch program for Türkiye's first astronaut, Alper Gezeravcı, as part of the Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3) crew set to journey to the International Space Station (ISS).

NASA and most of its international partners intend to operate the ISS until 2030, by which time its basic structure will become too fatigued to continue to host astronauts safely

Türkiye's first space traveler Alper Gezeravcı will take the "Schrenkiella Parvula" plant, which grows endemically in Salt Lake in Türkiye's Central Anatolia region, to space to test its feasibility for the purpose of improving soil on the Moon and Mars.

Industry and Technology Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacır has declared that the country's inaugural astronaut, Alper Gezeravcı, is set to embark his mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on Jan. 9, 2024.

In a first for the nation, students from a public school in the western province of İzmir were able to connect to the space station via radio and pose questions to astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli.

Authorities were investigating on July 18 whether a cylindrical object about the size of a small car that washed up on a remote Australian beach is space junk from a foreign rocket.

Police had cordoned off the barnacle-encrusted object after it was discovered at Green Head about 250 kilometers north of the city of Perth late on July 16.

A Turkish citizen will be sent to the International Space Station (ISS) in the second half of 2023 within the scope of the Turkish Space Traveler and Science Mission project, Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank has said.
