The first Turkish-made, high-resolution earth observation satellite is set for launch next year, said Turkish officials on June 4. 

The new satellite, called the İmece, is an important step to meet the needs of Turkey's military and civilian sectors for high-resolution images from indigenous technology, said participants at a meeting hosted by Industry and Technology Minister Mustafa Varank.
