Problem
Turkey’s emerging space program lacks domestic facilities for realistic mission preparation, astronaut training, and interdisciplinary research on Mars and Moon analog environments. Existing solutions are often imported, costly, and not tailored to local engineering and scientific needs.
Solution
Scarlet Space designs and operates fully domestic analog space stations that replicate Martian and lunar surface conditions on Earth. These facilities provide hands‑on training for analog astronauts, enable mission‑scenario simulations, and support research in astrobiology, nanotechnology, and radio astronomy using locally developed hardware, software, and infrastructure. The company also offers a cloud‑based learning management system to deliver remote education and certification in space‑related disciplines. By collaborating with national and international partners, Scarlet Space creates a sustainable ecosystem for Turkey’s space exploration capabilities.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Turkish space agencies, research institutions, and aerospace companies seeking domestic analog testing and astronaut training, as well as students and professionals pursuing remote education in space technologies.
