The satellite – set to take off from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 8.26 p.m. Thursday (Friday GMT0126, 4.26 a.m. in Turkey) – will settle into its orbit within four months and start service in the second half of 2021, according to Turkey’s Transport and Infrastructure Ministry.

TURKSAT 5A WILL PROVIDE KU-BAND SERVICES

Turkey’s frequency and orbit rights are guaranteed for the next 30 years, the ministry said.

“Built by Airbus Defense and Space with significant Turkish contributions, the Turkish 5A satellite will provide Ku-band television broadcast services over Turkey, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa,” SpaceX’s website says.

NEW SATELLITES WILL MAKE TURKEY MORE POWERFUL IN SPACE

The satellite will carry 42 transponders and will be located at a somewhat unused Turkish orbital slot at 31 degrees east.

Adil Karaismailoglu, Turkey’s transport and infrastructure minister, said last year that Turkey’s new communication satellites, including Turksat 5A, 5B and 6A, will make the country more powerful in space.

Liftoff had been planned previously but was postponed several times.
