Moreover, TAI opened its first office in Pakistan in December 2019 at the National Science and Technology Park.
Furthermore, TAI CEO, Temel Kotil revealed at the Satellite Technologies Week in December that they are searching for new clients for the SmallGEO satellite A telecommunications satellite platform that uses an electric propulsion system, according to Daily Sabah.
Kotil said, “It looks like we found a customer, but we don’t share it because it has not been finalized. If it does, we will build three more satellites. A fourth customer also showed up. We will reach five satellites in total after its finalization.”
