Turkish Space Systems, Integration and Test Centre ((トルコ語:Uzay Sistemleri, Entegrasyon ve Test Merkezi)) (USET) is a spacecraft production and testing facility owned by the Ministry of National Defence and operated by the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). It is located in Ankara, Turkey.〔 The facility's official inauguration took place on May 21, 2015 in presence of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.〔〔 Considered as a critical infrastructure, the centre was established in the framework of Göktürk-1 project, which started in 2009, for indigenously realization of satellite assembly as well as for qualification and acceptance testing from the design to the launch phase. It was part of the contract signed with the multinational space services company Telespazio in 2010.〔 Situated within the TAI's ground in Kazan district of Ankara Province, the budgeted cost of the facility is US$100 million.〔〔〔〔〔 USET is a technology centre, at which all satellites to be produced in Turkey up to mass can be tested in simulated space environmental conditions related to the orbit. Two satellites can be produced and tested at the same time. The centre serves military and civilian institutions.〔〔〔 Development of Türksat series communication satellites, starting with Türksat 5A, and Göktürk series earth observation satellites, will be carried out by Turkish engineers at this site.〔〔 At the end of November 2014, it was announced that the construction of the facility was completed, and the centre was put into operation. The centre' Class 100,000 clean rooms cover an area of around .〔 It is capable of assembly, integration and testing of several satellites of type Low Earth orbit (LEO) and Geosynchronous orbit (GEO) with a mass up to five tonnes simultaneously.〔 It has a direct connection to the airbase so that a transport by land becomes needless offering advantages of security, economy and risk management.〔 The centre has the following capabilities: * thermal vacuum tests, * EMI/EMC tests, * compact antenna measurement range (CATR) tests, * solar array deployment tests, * vibration tests, * mass properties measurement, * acoustic tests, and * MLI preparation.〔〔 The advanced integration and environmental tests of Göktürk-1 is the first project to be carried out in the centre. After completion, the satellite will be sent to the launch site by TUSAŞ.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turkish Space Systems, Integration and Test Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
