1.1 General Information

TÜRKSAT Model Satellite Competition is a design-build-throw competition. It provides the competitors with the
opportunity to experience the process from the design of the space/satellite system to the commissioning. The
4 competition processes are planned to reflect the space/satellite project on a small scale. It covers all aspects of
a space/satellite project, from design to production and post-mission review. Competition; It has been designed
to reflect various aspects of real systems with its features such as meeting telemetry and communication
requirements, providing an autonomous structure and developing an interdisciplinary system.

TÜRKSAT Model Satellite Competition aims to provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to
transform theoretical knowledge into practice and to acquire interdisciplinary working skills. In addition, students
share their experiences with other university teams; It is also aimed that they will have the opportunity to
communicate with institutions, companies, experts and engineers operating in the sector.

1.2 General Provision

Announcements about the competition are made on the websites https://modeluydu.turksat.com.tr/ and
https://www.teknofest.org/. No separate announcement will be made to each team, and the announcements
published on the website will be of a notification nature. Participation in the competition as a team is
mandatory, individual applications will not be considered. During the competition, all kinds of communication
activities will be implemented by TÜRKSAT using alternative channels.

Teams whose applications have been accepted and announced can make sponsorship negotiations for their needs,
and for this purpose, they can receive in-kind and cash assistance. The needs such as accommodation, city transfer,
food and beverage during the flight process activities will be met by TÜRKSAT. It is forbidden for the participants to
make any unauthorized statements to the press about the competition. Teams continuing the competition process
should take care to participate in all organizations determined by TÜRKSAT. TURKSAT reserves the right to make
changes in the awards, rules or cancel the competition without giving any reason. In order for the flight day activities
to be carried out in a healthy way, the number of teams that will participate in the flight is determined by TÜRKSAT.
1.3 Subject of the Contest

A model satellite designed in the TÜRKSAT Model Satellite Competition; It represents the payload that descends
in the planet's atmosphere, collects data from its sensors, transfers the collected data to an interface
environment, records images and can exchange instant data.

The model satellite will be designed and produced by the teams as consisting of two parts, the carrier and
the payload. The carrier is the part that protects the payload. The task load is the part that will perform the
desired tasks.

The model satellite (carrier + payload) will be lifted to an altitude between 500-700 meters with the drone and left at an
altitude of 500-700 meters in case the safety of the rocket or competition provided by TÜRKSAT is considered risky. The
model satellite will descend up to 400 meters with the passive landing system of the carrier, and the carrier and the payload
will be separated from each other at an altitude of 400 meters. (The determined altitude may change on the day of flight
due to the effect of adverse weather conditions.) After departure, the payload will continue to descend with the active
landing system. The payload will remain suspended for 10 seconds at a range of 200 (+/- 50) m, stabilizing its altitude. After
the specified time, it will continue its descent at a speed of 4 - 6 m/s.

The payload will send the telemetry packet to the competitor team's own ground station every
second (1 Hz) during the entire flight (from the start to the ground). The data will also be
recorded in a memory on the payload.

The payload will send the video image, telemetry data and data received from the carrier to the
ground station during the entire flight. Telemetry data and video images will also be recorded in
a memory on the payload. In addition, a video package provided by TÜRKSAT during the flight
will be sent from the competitor team's ground station to the payload and will be recorded on
the SD Card on the payload. Time dependent graphs of telemetry data will be plotted in real time 5
at the ground station. The video image can be viewed instantaneously at the ground station.
Telemetry data and video images will also be recorded to the ground station. When the task is
completed,

After the payload lands on the ground, data transmission will continue for 1 minute and data transmission
will be terminated automatically at the end of 1 minute. The model satellite will give an audible warning
(for rescue) until it is found by the rescue team and will show the landing position from the ground station
interface.

 4. FLIGHT OPERATIONS

4.1 Program

The detailed program will be notified to the ongoing teams after the CDR phase.

4.2 Airworthiness Check (FRR - Flight Readiness Review)

It is the stage where teams are checked for airworthiness. Successful completion of this phase means
that the model satellite is ready for flight. FRR consists of 6 stages;

Stage 1 is the stage where the size and weight of the model satellite are measured. It is checked that the measured
values should be at the values specified in the competition requirements.

The second stage is the stage where the vibration test is performed. Vibration test is performed to verify the assembly
workmanship and the stability of the system after the vibration that the model satellite, whose integration has been completed
before the flight, will be exposed to. During the testing process, the model satellite should be on and data transmission to the
ground station should continue. Vibration between 150-200 Hz will be applied.

Stage 3 is the stage where the drop test is performed. The model is realized by connecting the satellite with a rope
and releasing it from a certain height. It is checked that the payload does not leave the carrier and that the system
remains undamaged. During the testing process, the model satellite should be on and data transmission to the
ground station should continue.

Stage 4 is the stage where the communication test is performed. In the communication test; The transmission
of telemetry data to the ground station computer and the real-time plotting of the telemetry data received at
the ground station are controlled. In addition, the necessity of recording the video package to be sent from the
20 ground station to the model satellite on the SD card on the model satellite is also checked. It is checked
whether the video sent from the model satellite to the ground station is received.

Stage 5 is the stage where the Payload will be separated from the carrier and the rotor will be tested. The payload will be
sent a departure command from the ground station, thanks to the departure command, the separation mechanism
between the carrier and the payload will work.
will be done. In the separation of the duty
load, the propellers are sent to the duty load.

* Manual drive command duty load per

second) of rotor / propeller system

The 6th stage is the model u after the tests.

4.3 Roles of Team Members at the Time of Operation

team members; must be assigned to roles at the time of flight operation. For a successful operation, teams
must coordinate among themselves and with the competition coordinators.

Crew members need to be assigned specific tasks and develop a checklist for a successful flight.
Members within the team must be appointed for the following tasks:

Operations Control Officer: The operation control officer consists of one person. Operations Referee He is
responsible for placing the team's model satellite in the rocket capsule and directing the operation.

Ground Station Team: The ground station crew may consist of more than one person. It is the team responsible
for monitoring the ground station for the reception of telemetry data and video and, if necessary, sending the
command to leave the ground station to the model satellite. This team developed “Flight Telemetry Data”,
“Ground Station Video” and “Flight Software”Ground Station Referee What will he deliver?

Preparation Team: The preparation team is responsible for preparing the model satellite, Operations Control
Officer A team of one or more people responsible for delivering to, integrating with the flight platform, and
verifying its status.

Rescue Team: The rescue team may consist of more than one person. The model is responsible for
tracking the satellite and locating it after landing. When they find the carrier and the payloadField Referee'
they should call.

Team members other than the Operations Control Officer can take part in more than one operation team. The
Operations Control Officer should coordinate all the operation teams and, when necessary,Competition
Coordinators should be in contact with
21

4.4 Flight Day Plan

The model satellites of the teams that qualify for the competition will be placed on the flight platform after
configuring the duty load as 0 meters on the day of the flight.
 4.5 Competition Event Sequence

The competition operation is as follows;

1. Arrival at the competition area,

2. Installation of the ground station on the allocated tables,

3. Assigning the altitude as 0 meters while at the ground station,
4. Making the model satellite ready for flight and performing the final test,
5. The model satellite should be kept fully assembled and electronic circuit closed until the flight time of
the relevant team,
6. The Operation Control Officer and the Preparation Team of the team whose flight time has come, go to the control
desk and place the satellites of the working model satellite on the flight platform, accompanied by the Operations
Judge,
7. The Operations Control Officer and the flight coordinator implement the start-up procedures,
8. Ground Station Team; Verifying that the model satellite and the ground station are communicating,
9. Monitoring the operation of the ground station by the Ground Station Referee and the Ground Station Crew members when the

flight time comes,

10. The Ground Station Crew delivers the team's flight information to the Ground Station Judge,
11. Performing all necessary flight operations by the Ground Station Crew,
12. Rescue Team at the time of landing and after; tracking the payload and the carrier, and going to the landing
site and determining the location of the payload using the GPS data received by the teams from the Ground
Station Team,
22
13. Rescue Team members who have found the carrier and the payload will call the Field Judge and check that
the model satellite has not been interfered with until the Field Judge arrives,
14. Examining the workload of the Field Judge and the Rescue Team members,
15. Returning to the competition area.

4.6 Disqualifications

◊ Teams that copied the content or design from other teams, Teams that submitted
◊ documents with empty or meaningless content, Teams that did not comply with the security
◊ measures to be taken on the day of the flight, Teams that sabotaged the work and flight
◊ process of other teams, Teams that did not submit any of their reports during the
◊ competition process,
◊ Teams that do not comply with the rules declared by the competition commission during the entire
competition process,
◊ Teams that act to deceive the competition commission on the data obtained and presented
throughout the entire competition process,
◊ Teams that act in a way that disturbs the peace of the competition or the competition officials
before, during and after the competition, and display unethical behavior in verbal or written
(including social media) will be disqualified.
4.7 Effect of Weather Conditions on the Competition

In order to control the physical operability of model satellite designs, it is aimed to maximize the
Flight Scoring, which is the most important stage of the competition process. During a normal flight,
the Flight Operation Scoring Table basically requires the model satellite's landing speed, separation,
transferring the telemetry data and flight images during the flight to the ground station and
visualizing these data on the ground station computer. In the event that the flight does not take
place, the flight day can be changed or scoring is performed over the requirements that meet most of
the normal flight requirements specified in the Flight Operations Scoring Table. In the following
unfavorable casesFLIGHT_B_PLAN is applied.

The Flight Platform (Drone, Rocket or helium balloon) on which the model satellites will be placed may
vary by the Competition Committee, taking into account the safety and technical requirements. TÜRKSAT
reserves the platform change decision.

In the following conditions that may hinder the flight;

It will pose a risk to the flight platform or interfere with its flight. WIND SPEED and RAIN WEATHER:

In case of force majeure that may occur before or during the flight,
