Engineering The Impossible

Türkiye is Set to Make History on the Moon!

  • We will become the 6th country in the world to send a rover to the lunar surface.
  • Türkiye will be the first country to deploy two rovers simultaneously on the Moon.
  • We will be the first nation to land a rover at the Moon’s South Pole.

  • Our mission is designed to push the boundaries of exploration: the two rovers will be deployed on sequential days, enabling one rover to capture footage of the other during its descent—a groundbreaking event never before witnessed.

  • Before the AYAP-2 mission, we will have the opportunity to test our own rovers, ensuring they are fully optimized for the harsh conditions of the lunar surface.

  • Over the next four years, dozens of engineers will be trained to become experts in lunar exploration, bringing new capabilities and cutting-edge technology to our nation.

We are not just aiming for the Moon—we are redefining what is possible.
Because in our vision, even the word impossible says, “I’m possible.”
