Turkish Aviation Association (THK), Vice Rector of the University, Prof. DR. Tahsin Çağrı Şişman informed about the project.
Şişman explained that as a university it is working on determining the satellite orbit using artificial intelligence and especially deep learning and that the aim is to contribute to Turkey's awareness and capabilities about the space situation.
Testing will begin at the end of the year
Şişman reminded that one of the ten goals of Turkey's national space program is “observation and tracking of space objects from the ground,” and stated that studies are also being carried out for this purpose. Şişman emphasized that their ultimate goal is to develop an artificial intelligence application that identifies satellites and space objects in the sky:
“We started a study two years ago to use a local application of artificial intelligence to determine the position and speed of satellites and space objects flying over Turkey. With our project, we are conducting studies on the perception of the space situation using artificial intelligence. The studies are about bringing together “Our project, which we plan to start at the end of the year, will allow us to test the speed, location and orbit of any space object flying over our country that can be optically observed and amateur monitored. “ Radio bands are learned immediately.
“National security” sensitivity.
Explaining that they want to enable the application of artificial intelligence to learn about space objects just as people learn by observing the sky, Şişman explained that they will bring the project to their attention by interacting with other institutions and organizations of space actors in the country want to contribute to professional processes.
Şişman stated that they have completed their work on determining artificial intelligence-based orbits in two dimensions in the equatorial plane and that they intend to bring the application of artificial intelligence to a more professional level by expanding the data to three dimensions.
Explaining that they plan to bring the project to maturity within two years, Şişman said, “When our project reaches the professional level, we want to provide support in improving the observation infrastructure through TÜBİTAK projects or interact with organizations involved in educating about the space situation of our country and make contributions to their work based on artificial intelligence.” gave his assessment.
Şişman stated that when satellites send radio signals, there is a “Doppler shift” in the signal frequency as they approach and move away from the ground station, and through detection it is possible to determine the orbit in which they work in this direction at the ground station of the THK University.
“Spy satellites can be monitored”
Şişman emphasized that one of the results of the goal of “Observation and Tracking of Space Objects from the Ground” in the National Space Program is related to “national security”:
“Turkey can obtain the orbit information of satellites and other space objects through 'space-track.org', but the orbit information of spy satellites cannot be obtained from here. For this reason, the fact that the project is local takes on particular importance. “With regard to Turkey's national security, with the implementation of the project we have developed, it will be possible to monitor the country's spy satellites, their orbits with artificial Intelligence to determine and know their transit times over Turkey do not want to be seen by spy satellites can be hidden.
