Spaceport America Cup is an annual rocket engineering competition where student teams from all around the globe come together to compete on 6 different categories. Depending on the category, teams launch to either 10k feet or 30k feet with student built or commercial rocket motors. They are free to use solid, liquid and hybrid propulsion types. Spaceport America Cup is held each year at Spaceport America, the worlds first purpose-built spaceport, located in New Mexico. Apart from hosting the Spaceport America Cup, Spaceport America also serves as a hub for many exciting spaceflight and aerospace companies such as Virgin Galactic, Spinlaunch, UP Aerospace and more. Our team is going to be competing in the 10k feet Commercial Off-the-Shelf category. This means that we will be designing our rocket with a commercially available rocket motor and our apogee goal is going to be 10k feet. We have chosen this category based on the experience and hardware we had on hand and we believe that we are going to achieve a good score in our category.

We are a driven student team comprised of seven engineering students from Ege University in Izmir, Turkey. Our focus is on building experimental sounding rockets. We have previously competed in Teknofest Rocket Competition 2022 and 2023. Currently, we are preparing to compete in the upcoming Spaceport America 2024 cup.
