“…The vertical axes of the graph in Figure-4 shows the 15 major milestones for the proposed framework, while the horizontal axes shows the year in which related action was achieved or planned to be achieved. This figure shows the past, present and future space levels of Turkey by considering the adapted Space Technology Ladder proposed by Wood and Weigel [22,23]. Figure-4 shows the space related timelines for Turkey.…”

This paper discusses the importance of space in today's space driven world, the current space activities of Turkey, its space organizations with legislation background information and calls for the necessity for the establishment of the Turkish Space Agency (TSA). Firstly, the importance of space is given which is followed by a brief background and current space activities in Turkey. Then, the answers to why Turkey needs a National Space Agency are outlined by stating its expected role and duties. Additionally, the framework for space policy for Turkey is proposed and the findings are compared with other developing regional space actors. Lastly, it is proposed and demonstrated that Turkey is on the right track with its space policy and it is suggested that the establishment of the TSA is critical both for a coherent space policy and progress as well as the successful development of its national space industry, security and international space relations.
