IMECE is Turkey's first submeter-resolution Earth-observation satellite, developed by TUBITAK UZAY to build domestic high-resolution EO subsystem capability ^[1]. It launched on 2023-04-15 on the SpaceX Transporter-7 mission and operates in a roughly 680 km sun-synchronous orbit ^[1]^[2]. Its passive optical camera provides submeter panchromatic imaging plus 3.96 m red, green, blue, and near-infrared imaging, making the mission relevant for high-resolution land-cover-change and disaster-damage workflows ^[1]. Public tasking is not presented as an offer. The mission is framed around domestic capability and subsystem validation ^[1].
