Türksat 5A
Türksat 5A is a telecommunications satellite operated by the state-owned Türksat A.Ş. Türksat AS began the project in September 2011. Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) will be the Turkish industry partner. The final production contract was expected for 2015 but was much delayed to October 2017, when Airbus Defence and Space was selected. Türksat-5A is built on the all-electric Eurostar-3000EOR bus and will weigh about 3500 kg at launch. It provides 12 kilowatts of power at the end of its life and features an all-Ku-band payload.
