土耳其国防企业罗克萨恩（Roketsan）的发射系统，由戈克塞尔·耶尔德勒姆（Goksel Yildirim）、富阿特·卡巴克吉（Fuat Kabakci）和埃米尔·耶尔德勒姆（Emir Yildirim）共同领导，将有助于确保土耳其能够独立进入太空领域。随着安卡拉加大对卫星系统的投资，土耳其希望在全球太空经济中占据更大的份额。
Goksel Yildirim, Fuat Kabakci and Emir Yildirim Turkish defense firm Roketsan’s launch systems will help ensure independent access to space as Ankara expands investments in satellite systems to grab a larger share of the global space economy.
罗克萨恩首席执行官穆拉特·伊金奇（Murat Ikinci）在土耳其西南部举行的第77届国际宇航大会（IAC）前夕对《安纳多卢报》（Anadolu）表示，该公司正在努力开发能够将重型载荷送入轨道的国产发射平台。这些发射系统（Simsek 1和Simsek 2）是与土耳其国防工业局（SSB）合作开发的。
Roketsan CEO Murat Ikinci, speaking ahead of the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) to be held in southwestern Türkiye, told Anadolu that efforts are underway to develop domestic platforms to deliver heavy payloads into orbit. The firm is focused on the Simsek 1 and Simsek 2 satellite launch systems, developed in coordination with the Defense Industries Agency (SSB).
伊金奇指出：“那些在太空领域占据主导地位的国家，尤其是那些拥有自主技术的企业，不会与其他国家分享导航、推进系统、热控技术或材料等关键技术。因此，通过与我们于2020年成立的研发中心以及大学和工业伙伴的合作，我们正努力成为太空领域的重要参与者。”
“Countries that dominate the space field, especially those that have these technologies of their own, do not share any of the underlying technologies like navigation, propulsion, thermal, or materials with other countries, so by bringing these at our center of excellence established in 2020, through collaborations with universities and industry partners, we’re striving to establish us as a key player in space,” he said.
自2016年以来，罗克萨恩已经进行了多次探空火箭测试，以验证其自主研发的太空技术。由于全球航空航天巨头普遍倾向于保密自己的核心技术，土耳其不得不加快自主技术研发的步伐。
Ikinci stated that Roketsan has conducted a number of probe rocket tests since 2016 to validate its homegrown spaceflight solutions, as the trend among global aerospace leaders to withhold their proprietary technology prompted Türkiye to develop its own sovereign capabilities.
伊金奇补充说：“我们已经基本完成了对这些太空技术的验证工作，并通过成功发射Simsek 1（第一阶段）和随后的Simsek 2，建立了自己在太空领域的业绩记录。”
“We’ve largely completed the process of validating the solutions we developed for space and establishing a track record in space-related activities with the successful launch of Simsek 1 in the first phase and subsequently Simsek 2,” he added.
Simsek 1项目的目标是研制一种能够将400公斤载荷送入500公里轨道的运载火箭。在此基础上，去年该公司又签订了相关合同，开发Simsek 2系统，该系统具备将1.5吨载荷送入700公里轨道的能力。
The Simsek 1 program aims to engineer a launch vehicle capable of placing a 400-kilogram (882-pound) payload into a 500-kilometer (310.6-mile) orbit. Building on the foundation of this project, a contract was signed last year for the Simsek 2 system to provide the capacity to deliver a 1.5-ton payload into an orbit of up to 700 kilometers (435 miles).
罗克萨纳（Roketsan）计划通过全球合作将“Simsek 2”卫星发射平台推向市场，从而将土耳其打造成其盟友们的全球卫星发射服务提供商。
Roketsan plans to commercialize the Simsek 2 platform through global collaborations, positioning Türkiye as a global satellite launcher for its allies.
该公司已建立了一个由近2500家活跃合作伙伴组成的国防与航空航天供应链，以支持其制造目标。目前，这些合作伙伴主要负责导弹的生产工作；公司正在努力提升这些合格供应商的能力，使他们能够参与全球性的太空项目。
The firm has also established a defense and aerospace supply chain of nearly 2,500 active business partners to support its manufacturing goals. The majority of these partners currently assist with missile production, while the company is working to upgrade the capabilities of its qualified suppliers so they can participate in global space projects.
“罗克萨纳的目标是建立一个完整的生态系统和供应链，从而在市场竞争中避免遇到重大困难，”伊金奇（Ikinci）表示。
“Roketsan aims to create an ecosystem and build an entire supply chain so we do not face significant difficulties competing in the market,” Ikinci said.
他提到，该公司与众多合作伙伴进行了合作，包括大学、土耳其科学技术研究委员会（TUBITAK）的太空部门以及土耳其工业与技术部等公共机构。
He noted that the firm is collaborating with a wide range of partners, including universities, public institutions such as the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye’s (TUBITAK) space division, and the Turkish Industry and Technology Ministry.
伊金奇还指出，罗克萨纳是土耳其国家太空计划及其月球探索项目中的关键参与者。
Ikinci stated that Roketsan is also one of the key players in Türkiye’s National Space Program and its lunar objectives.
“我们承担了开发将载荷送入太空所需平台的重任——这是该计划中最关键的组成部分之一，”他说。
“We’ve assumed the responsibility to develop the platforms that will carry our payloads into space, one of the most critical components of this program,” he said.
他强调，月球探索项目需要各机构及其他盟国的密切协作，这将进一步推动土耳其在深空探索领域的进展。
He noted that the lunar program requires coordination among institutions and other allied countries, which he believes will further accelerate Türkiye’s progress in deep-space exploration.
他还提到，罗克萨纳是2026年将在安塔利亚举行的IAC（International Aerospace Conference）活动的主要赞助商，该公司将在该活动中推动新的科学合作。
He mentioned that Roketsan is a major sponsor of the IAC 2026 event to be held in Antalya, where the firm will foster new scientific collaborations.
