METUCube represents a major milestone in Turkish aerospace education. Designed and built by the Small Space Systems Laboratory (S3 Lab), this student-led mission marks the university's first foray into full-scale satellite development.
MISSION OBJECTIVES
Equipped with advanced multispectral and thermal imaging technology, METUCube is built to protect. The satellite assesses natural and human-caused disasters—including wildfires, floods, and earthquakes—collecting critical data to support early warning systems and sustainable development.
Observation Earth observation for environmental and agricultural planning.
Resilience Feasibility studies for space-based disaster response.
