🏅 Get a personalized Purdue 1 patch!
Through the Purdue 1 Indiana Essay Competition, Hoosier fifth graders are invited to write about how they could use a favorite school subject, hobby or skill to help a space mission crew succeed.
One winner from each of Indiana's 92 counties will receive a patch bearing their name. If mission conditions permit, winners' names will even travel to space aboard Purdue 1, the university's upcoming all-Boilermaker suborbital research spaceflight!
Students can enter through their classroom or on their own with a parent or guardian. Essays are due Nov. 30: https://bit.ly/purdue-1-essay

✈️ 🌎 Purdue EAPS professor and department head Andrea Donnellan is helping lead NASA's ASCENT airborne campaign, which recently took to the skies over California to test technologies that could one day map Earth's surface from space.

The aircraft is equipped with radar, lidar and advanced imaging instruments that collect measurements of forests, mountains, earthquake faults, coastlines and more. Their goal is to learn how these technologies can work together to give scientists a more complete picture of our changing planet.

Purdue EAPS graduate student Anthony Wendel also participated in the campaign, operating the SAR-Fusion instrument aboard one of the aircraft.
