Turkey is planning to establish a spaceport in Somalia as part of its ambitious national space program, which includes goals such as reaching the Moon. Somalia’s geographic location near the equator provides an ideal launching point, significantly reducing the fuel required to send rockets into orbit. This strategic move strengthens the deep-rooted bilateral relations between the two nations, building upon Turkey’s existing military, economic, and humanitarian footprint in the East African country.
- Turkey’s space program aims to establish an independent launch site in Somalia to bypass geographical limitations at home.
- Somalia’s proximity to the equator makes it scientifically ideal for rocket launches, offering fuel efficiency and flexible launch trajectories.
- The proposed spaceport is part of a broader Turkish initiative that includes satellite development and scientific missions.
- The project deepens Turkey’s significant strategic and military presence in Somalia, where it already operates its largest overseas military training facility.

We Turks are ensuring that these white Europeans are increasingly pushed out of Africa; Europe's prosperity is over—there will be no more exploitation, and the Europeans, especially the French, know this. That is why they joined the alliance of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel against Turkey, in the desperate hope of intimidating Turkey—only for it to completely backfire on the French.😂
09:50 We also view Israel, which has violated international law by attacking 7 countries in the Middle East, as a threat to Türkiye's security.
DW sees Türkiye in its dreams.
