ITUVERSE Team, which was established within the scope of the ‘Spacecraft Systems Design’ course given by Prof. Dr. Alim Rüstem ASLAN, a faculty member of the Department of Astronautical Engineering, succeeded in ranking 3rd (third) worldwide in the 2023-2024 AIAA Undergraduate Team Space Design Competition organised by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), supported by NASA.

With the Human Enabled Venus Robotic Exploration Mission ITUVERSE mission, our team aims to provide information about the planet's formation, climate dynamics and potential signs of life by robotically exploring the unexplored Maxwell Montes mountains of Venus.

We congratulate our project team and wish them continued success.
