For the first time in its history, the world's largest space event will be hosted in Türkiye, bringing together the global space community on the Mediterranean coast.
Hosted by the Turkish Space Agency (TUA) and co-hosted by the SAHA Istanbul Aerospace Cluster, this annual gathering is organised by the International Aeronautical Federation with rotating hosts each year.
