SpaceX in bid to launch first Turkish-built satellite
WASHINGTON, USA - MAY 07: Turksat General Manager Cenk Sen, SpaceX's President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell and Turksat representative Hasan Huseyin speak in an interview at the 2019 Satellite Conference in Washington D.C., United States on May 07, 2019. Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, is a candidate to launch Turkey's first nationally-built satellite, Turksat's general manager Cenk Sen said Tuesday. The Turkish satellite operator currently has two missions to launch satellites with SpaceX, with the 5A satellite planning to be launched next year, according Sen. SpaceX is enthusiastic to work with Turksat and is considering the Starship spacecraft to support the next project with the Turkish company. Starship is a reusable spacecraft currently under development by SpaceX, with plans to use it to transport humans to Mars. Last year, SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon Heavy, the world's most powerful rocket, into space. It can carry 140,000 pounds (63,500 kilograms) of cargo into orbit -- more than double the amount of any current rocket.(Footage by Yasin Ozturk/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
