What a cool partnership that continues the tradition of flight at Purdue, the cradle of astronauts.
“The Purdue 1 mission is designed to demonstrate what is possible in space,” said Arvind Raman, the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering. “With students, faculty and alumni all together, we are challenging the notion that a university is restricted to a geographical location on Earth. A university environment of research, learning and career success can also be continued beyond Earth to space, the next endless frontier.”
