Spaceport Selection Using a Novel Hybrid Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP & TOPSIS Based Methodology: A Case Study of Turkey

Öz:

Space technologies have continued their development accelerated with Sputnik 1 launching into space in 1957 and the USA-USSR competition. The period that is until today, due to the increase in studies about space research and space technology, has been called the space age. Turkey has launched 12 satellites from the launch of TURKSAT 1A on December 24, 1994, until today, and it has six active satellites. In this study, a hybrid PF AHP-PF TOPSIS approach has been developed on which spaceport would be the most appropriate choice for launching satellites when the political and diplomatic conditions are ignored for Turkey because of the use of various spaceports for the previous launchings. This study makes a concrete contribution to the literature through its novelty that this is the first time a spaceport selection problem is addressed in Pythagorean Fuzzy Environment with the welldescribed criteria. In virtue of the recent technological developments in space science, new opinions that new spaceports worldwide will be built to maintain the momentum of the space tourism industry emerging recently have been proposed. In this regard, this study serves as a guideline to decide which criteria to consider more carefully in order to build a new spaceport.

Pisagor Bulanık Ortamda Yeni Bir Melez AHP TOPSIS TabanlıYöntemle Uzay İstasyonu Seçimi: Türkiye'den Bir Vaka Çalışması

Öz:

Uzay teknolojileri, 1957'de Sputnik 1'in uzaya fırlatılması ve ABD-SSCB rekabeti ile hızlanarak gelişimini sürdürdü. Günümüze kadar olan dönem uzay araştırmaları ve uzay teknolojisi ile ilgili çalışmaların artması nedeniyle uzay çağı olarak adlandırılmıştır. Türkiye, 24 Aralık 1994 tarihinde TÜRKSAT 1A'nın fırlatılmasından bugüne kadar 12 uydu fırlatmıştır ve altı aktif uydusu bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, daha önceki fırlatmalar için çeşitli uzay limanlarının kullanılması nedeniyle Türkiye için siyasi ve diplomatik koşullar göz ardı edildiğinde, uyduların fırlatılması için hangi uzay limanının en uygun seçim olacağını belirlemek amacıyla melez bir PF AHP-PF TOPSIS yaklaşımı geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Pisagor bulanık ortamda ilk kez bir uzay limanı seçim probleminin iyi tanımlanmış kriterlerle ele alınmasıyla literatüre somut bir katkı sağlamaktadır. Uzay bilimindeki son teknolojik gelişmeler sayesinde, son zamanlarda ortaya çıkan uzay turizmi endüstrisinin momentumunu korumak için dünya çapında yeni uzay limanlarının inşa edileceğine dair yeni görüşler öne sürüldü. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma, yeni bir uzay limanı inşa etmek için hangi kriterlerin daha dikkatli ele alınacağına karar vermek için bir kılavuz görevi görmektedir.
