Turkey's first commercial earth observation satellite designed by space technology company Plan-S was launched into space. Connecta T2.1 was launched into orbit with the Transporter 7 mission in line with the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Thus, Plan-S sent its third satellite into space within a year.
Plan-S, which continues its work on satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) ground observation and communication, was founded in July 2021. Plan-S, established in Ankara Bilkent Cyberpark, is Turkey's fastest growing private space technologies company. All design, integration, testing and development processes of Connecta T2.1 were completed within the scope of Plan-S. The Connecta T2.1, which emitted a signal after separating from the rocket, transmitted the message "The future is in the skies! - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk" message to the whole world.
