Dear Andrew Glasbrenner and All

We had mail to bilgi at tamsat.org.tr but do not have respond feedback. if you 
have detail e-mail or contact list of turksat team please advice to me.

best Regards

Tanan Rangseeprom HS1JAN

You may want to reach out to the turksat 3U team. Although the satellite has
