Is it related to the previously announced TRNAV system?

Is it related to the previously announced TRNAV system?

Its nothing to do with TRNAV
TRNAV is a ground based System that complements each other from air to ground to air



on the other hand , Selcuk BAYRAKTAR mentioned a low orbit constellation of satellites that will form the National Global Positioning System

Can someone give me the Payload LEO value for these rockets?

I want to build wikipedia pages, or atleast add them here.

Can you do a comparison of similar launch vehicles to the Fergani 50t rocket?

"Our national hybrid rocket engine, which we will use in inter-orbit transfers in the Lunar Research Program, has successfully completed 20 firing tests."

I think this is the first graphic I have seen with the Payload capacity listed. Very insightful.

Now we should be able to see where these launch vehicles rank compared to their contemporaries.

The decision was passed by the Somali Parliament, Turkey's Somali Space Center is on its way. Turkey will establish two strategic facilities in Africa.

The first of these will be a test site where missile tests will be conducted using Somalia's strategic location.

Somali lands, which are close to the equator, are also one of the three most suitable points for launching from Earth into space.

Long-range missiles are planned to be launched towards the Indian Ocean in this area. Turkey sees Somalia as an important partner in order to gain a stronger position in the international arena in missile technology.

The second facility will be a spaceport where space rockets will be launched. Satellites such as Göktürk 2 need to be launched towards the north or south. You can launch them from Turkey, but you cannot launch Türksat.

It needs to be close to the equator. (E. İmre) This is what orbital mechanics require. For example, you can launch any type of satellite you want from Somalia towards the Indian Ocean in any direction you want.
