Turkish Space Systems, Integration and Test Center

Turkish Space Systems, Integration and Test Centre (Turkish: Uzay Sistemleri, Entegrasyon ve Test Merkezi) (USET) is a spacecraft production and testing facility owned by the Ministry of National Defence and operated by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). It is located in Ankara, Turkey. The facility's official inauguration took place on May 21, 2015, in presence of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.Considered as a critical infrastructure, the centre was established within the framework of the Göktürk-1 project, which started in 2009, for the indigenous realization of satellite assembly, as well as for qualification and acceptance testing from design to launch phase. It was the product of an agreement between the Turkish Ministry of National Defence and the multinational space services company Telespazio in 2010. Situated within TAI's grounds in the Kazan district of Ankara Province, the budgeted cost of the facility is US$100 million.USET is a technology centre, at which all satellites up to 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) mass can be assembled and tested in simulated space environmental conditions related to the orbit. Two satellites can be produced and tested at the simultaneously. The centre serves military and civilian institutions.Development of the Türksat series communication satellites, starting with Türksat 5A, and Göktürk series earth observation satellites, will be carried out by Turkish engineers at this site.At the end of November 2014, it was announced that the construction of the facility was completed, and the centre was put into operation. The centre's Class 100,000 clean rooms cover an area of around 3,800 m2 (41,000 sq ft). It is capable of the assembly, integration and testing of several satellites of type Low Earth orbit (LEO) and Geosynchronous orbit (GEO) with a mass up to five tonnes simultaneously. It has a direct connection to the airbase so that a transport by land becomes needless, offering advantages of security, economy and risk management.The centre has the following capabilities: thermal vacuum tests, EMI/EMC tests, compact antenna measurement range (CATR) tests, solar array deployment tests, vibration tests, mass properties measurement, acoustic tests, and MLI preparation.The advanced integration and environmental tests of Göktürk-1 is the first project to be carried out in the centre. After completion, the satellite will be sent to the launch site by TUSAŞ.

Gençlerbirliği S.K.

Gençlerbirliği Spor Kulübü (pronounced Turkish pronunciation: [ɟentʃˈlæɾbiɾli.i]), commonly known as Gençlerbirliği, is a multi-sport organisation from Ankara best known for its men's professional football team, which currently competes in the Süper Lig and hosts matches at the 20,560-seat Eryaman Stadium on the city's western edge. Founded on 14 March 1923 by pupils of Ankara Erkek Lisesi who were excluded from their school side, the club soon became a symbol of youthful rebellion and has been nicknamed Ankara Rüzgârı ("Wind of Ankara") and Gençler ("The Youth") ever since. Its traditional colours are red and black, chosen—according to club lore—either because those were the only fabrics available at a local tailor or because they echo the red-and-black poppies that flower on the Anatolian steppe each spring. Historically, Gençlerbirliği were a dominant force in the regional Ankara Football League, winning that competition a record nine times before the nationwide league system was introduced in 1959. National silverware followed: the club captured the Turkish Football Championship twice, in 1941 and 1946, and lifted the Turkish Cup in both 1987 and 2001; the latter triumph earned a memorable UEFA Cup run in 2003–04 in which the side eliminated Blackburn Rovers, Sporting CP and Parma before bowing out to eventual champions Valencia in the fourth round. League highlights include third-place finishes in 1965–66 and 2002–03, the latter season under manager Ersun Yanal producing the highest points total in club history. Gençlerbirliği are also renowned for an academy and scouting network that has developed internationals such as Geremi, Isaac Promise and Arda Güler. The club's main rivalry is with fellow Ankara side Ankaragücü; their meetings are dubbed the Ankara derby and are among the oldest continuously played local derbies in Turkish football. Off the pitch, Gençlerbirliği have long been associated with pragmatic financial management—initiated by legendary president İlhan Cavcav—as well as a politically active supporter base known for choreographed tifos and social-justice campaigns.
