Announcing the fourth and fifth — and final — Purdue 1 crew members! 🚀 Veteran commercial astronaut @Astro_Beth, a @PurdueAeroAstro alumna, and Florence Stahura, a graduate of @PurdueScience, will join the five-person, all-Boilermaker suborbital flight that will include real-time research onboard a @virgingalactic spacecraft. Professor @CollicottSteven, graduate student Abigail Mizzi and @PurdueCCE alumnus Jason Williamson round out the Purdue 1 crew, which came together for the first time during an event today at Armstrong Hall.

Steven Collicott, @PurdueAeroAstro professor, has an experiment on board built by the AAE418 “Zero-gravity Flight Experiment” class. The “2D-Slosh” experiment ran for several years in AAE418, and several dozens of students who are now #alumni worked on it, Collicott said.

Of the six women in #Purdue's Cradle of Astronauts, five are #PurdueAAE alumnae. In addition to the three below, the group also includes Loral O'Hara (bit.ly/OAEOHara) and Janice Voss. #WHM

Sirisha Bandla, Beth Moses and Audrey Powers -- the only commercial astronauts in @LifeAtPurdue's Cradle -- took different paths to space, but #PurdueEngineering played a major role in each journey. #WHM bit.ly/AAEBandla26 bit.ly/Powers-Cradle bit.ly/moses-cradle
