Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk met virtually on Thursday to discuss Turkey's national space program. 

The meeting addressed issues of cooperation between Turkey's public and private sectors, as well as the firm, in a variety of domains, including satellite and space technology, according to a statement from the presidency.

They also addressed the imminent launch of Turksat 5B into space, as well as the launch of Turksat 5A, another Turkish satellite, by a SpaceX rocket in January.

Turksat 5B satellite

The Turksat 5B satellite's ability to improve Turkey's Ka-band data communication capacity 15-fold is one of its most notable qualities.

Turkey had signed a deal with Airbus Defense and Space (Airbus D&S) to secure the Turksat 5B satellite's redundancy.
