In this text, I would like to illustrate how the newly founded Turkish Armed Forces Space Command might look. In the near future, countries like the USA, China, Russia, and the EU will need to defend their fiscal and national interests in space. This means that any nation aiming to be powerful in space must establish a space command to protect their space borders, or even territories on other planets or moons. With this in mind, the Turkish Foreign Affairs Ministry has initiated the creation of a new command within the Turkish Armed Forces to defend the rights of the Republic of Turkey in space.

Historically, and even now, Turkey has shown great interest in the aerospace and space industries. The Turkish Armed Forces have an increasing number of military satellites used for communication and operations. These have proven effective during UAV operations against terrorism in the Middle East. Turkey aspires to become a significant power in space, with a growing number of satellites and expanding interests in space-related industries.

The Turkish Space Command could utilize various weapons, such as killer satellites and space defense systems to protect both the air and space borders of the country. Currently, Turkey employs satellites to support weaponized UAVs in counterterrorism efforts. In the future, this will likely evolve into more advanced systems, such as weaponized space shuttles and bases located around the Earth and the Moon. Turkey could even establish space hotels as space travel technology improves, which would help boost the Turkish economy.

Strategically, Turkey defends its national interests through its advanced communication and military satellites. However, to secure a stronger presence in space, Turkey must expand its collaborations with entities like the USA, the ISS, and international organizations such as NATO. Although Turkey may pursue independent goals and defense systems in space, these efforts alone may not be sufficient to fully capitalize on the benefits space offers. Maintaining strong relationships with Turkey’s current allies on Earth will be essential. There is even the possibility of creating a NATO Space Command, which could extend the current geopolitical tensions between East and West into space.

Despite all the potential advancements, Turkey will face financial and operational challenges, such as launching shuttles and satellites from domestically controlled launchpads. Turkey currently plans to build a launch site in Somalia, as it lacks a suitable location within its own borders. These are critical steps for the future of the Turkish Space Command. Hopefully, Turkey will resolve its current economic crisis and accelerate the development of space technologies.

In conclusion, with the current advances in space technology and growing interest in space, Turkey has the potential to become a leading power in the space race. However, it must first address the operational and financial issues facing the country.
