Turkey is aiming to launch its first spacecraft to orbit the Moon in 2027, Spaceflight Now reports. The mission is the first of two planned Turkish lunar flights.
The opening flight will be an orbiter equipped with several scientific instruments. It is meant to study the Moon from lunar orbit and pave the way for what follows.
The second mission will be a lander, which would take Turkey from observing the Moon from orbit to touching down on its surface.
