Türkiye’s OTV completes successful engine ignition in orbit TurDef
Türkiye’s first Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV), FGN-TUG-S01, developed indigenously by Fergani Space, has completed its most critical in-space manoeuvre. According to the company’s official press release, the vehicle ignited its hybrid rocket engine in orbit and executed a controlled transition to a higher elliptical orbit.
FGN-TUG-S01, developed by Fergani Space—founded by Baykar Chairman and CTO Selçuk Bayraktar—was launched aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 during the Transporter-15 rideshare mission on 28 November 2025 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. After completing in-orbit checks, the OTV carried out the ignition sequence central to its mission profile.
