The goals of the Turkey Century aim to build a science and technology-based future supported by space projects. In this context, the Future Technology Stars developed a space vehicle capable of conducting space analyses, moving on challenging terrains, and being easily controlled, through their diverse space missions learned in the competition field.

With this initiative, young people had the opportunity to develop both their creativity and technical skills, contributing to innovative solutions for the future.
