This development follows Es'hailSat's announcement on July 3 that its Es'hail-3 satellite is due to launch in 2030, with an estimated cost of approximately EUR 295 million. Es'hailSat CEO Ali Ahmed Al Kuwari stated the design, manufacturing, and launch phase will take between three and four years. Previously, on July 2, Es'hailSat and Türksat, Türkiye's national satellite operator, signed a strategic partnership agreement for the Es'hail-3/Türksat-Biruni satellite project to expand reach and unlock new opportunities in satellite services. On July 1, Es'hailSat commissioned Thales Alenia Space to develop the Es'hail-3/Türksat-Biruni satellite, which will provide flexible broadband connectivity across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East in partnership with Türksat, built on the software-defined Space INSPIRE platform.
