Can Turkey Challenge India's Moon Mission?
UAE is the World's first Muslim country that successfully completed its Moon Mission. Turkey's President Erdogan said that "Turkey is ready for 10 year Turkish Space programme." He also added that in the upcoming 2 years Turkey will land on moon's surface. Well it's a big statement from him. So will it effect India? If that happen what will Turkey's status as seen from Asia?
Turkey's Plan
Turkey founded its Space Agency in December 2018 after the ruling Justice and Development party (AKP) made the project an election campaign promise earlier that year.
The President said the first goal of the comprehensive programme was to make contract with the moon 2023, the centennial of the founding of the Turkish republic. Other missions include sending Turkish astronauts into space, building a Turkish spaceport, and developing sophisticated satellite and meteorology technology.
Can Turkey beat India in Moon Mission?
Well there is a possibility that Turkey can beat India in Moon Mission because Turkey wants to grow in the field of Science and Technology and they openly said that we will take the international help to accomplish this task. I don't know if they will take the help of Elon Musk or form a Muslim International Organisation but they want to be a World Leader in Muslim World. If they develop the Technology to launch Satellites then it will be very beneficial to Turkey as all the Muslim World will ask Turkey to launch there Satellite. But India's next moon mission will take place in end of 2021 or in the beginning of 2022 and if it be successful then India will be the second country in Asia to successfully completed it's Moon Mission but if India fails then India's next mission will happen in 2024 with Japan and Turkey will have a chance in 2023 to be second country in Asia to do so.
Also India's Mangalyan Mission is scheduled in 2024 so let's see how the things will go. But there is a news that Turkey is developing a nuclear mission in the name of Moon Mission. It's not clear although let's wait for the apt information I hope Moon Mission information might be correct but lets see what will happen.
