ASELSAN has launched its second satellite in the Space-Based Internet of Things (IoT) solution series, Luna-2, into space via SpaceX from the state of California, USA on 30 March, 2026.
Despite its small size (Nano Satellite), Luna-2 will aim to provide secure sensor data even in the most remote corners of the world. The satellite will cover very large areas with very low energy consumption thanks to its special communication system (LoRa), according to ASELSAN.
The design, development, production, integration, and testing activities of Luna-2 were entirely carried out by ASELSAN. The flight software, ground control software, LoRa transceiver card used as a payload, and data transmission device were developed with internal resources by ASELSAN engineers, creating a solution based on national capabilities.
