GOKTURK-1A is a European-built, Turkish-owned spy satellite, designed to take high-resolution pictures for Turkish military and security agencies. Turkish authorities have not revealed the craft's exact imaging capabilities, other than disclosing it will collect 'sub-meter' imagery, meaning its Thales-supplied optical camera will resolve objects on the ground smaller than about 3 feet across. GOKTURK-1A will be able to image the entire planet every three days.
