A team of 9 outstanding students from Yalova University Faculty of Engineering is preparing to make history at Teknofest 2025 with TARAGAY, the university’s first vertical landing rocket system.
Selected from hundreds of entries and awarded 85 points for Preliminary Design Report and 95 for Critical Design Report, TARAGAY has now advanced to the launch preparation phase.
🚀 This is not just a rocket — it’s a visionary engineering milestone, inspired by Apollo 11’s Lunar Module and aiming to simulate soft landing technologies here on Earth.
🛰 The TARAGAY system is now in production and integration stages. The upcoming test launch will showcase not only technical achievement but also the future potential of Turkish space innovation.
🌠 Our students envision TARAGAY as the first step toward a domestic space tech startup, transforming academic excellence into real-world impact.
Engineering is not just design — it's the courage to dream. From Yalova, we dream toward space.
