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.
More about the flight participants and the mission's groundbreaking experiments: bit.ly/4teu7oH
