Steven Collicott

Meet the Purdue1 Crew! We are honored to have been selected for this university-chartered spaceflight in 2027. Our all-Boilermaker team will engage the Purdue community and conduct research. L-R: Abby Mizzi, Steven Collicott, me, Jason Williamson, Flo Stahura. 🖤💛🚀💛🖤

#NationalSpaceDay is a moment to reflect on how far exploration has taken us — and where we can go next. Purdue 1 represents the next chapter, uniting Boilermakers to advance groundbreaking space research. Make a gift today and be part of the incredible work shaping Purdue’s future in space. purdue.university/4cAzPKA

At a moment of renewed global ambition in space, the Neil Armstrong Space Prize will inspire the next generation of astronauts, engineers and space innovators to pursue the giant leaps still ahead. Tomorrow, Purdue Engineering will announce the inaugural award winner. Watch the full video: bit.ly/4dYbC3o

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.

Virgin Galactic is at the University of Central Florida (@UCF) for The Economist Space Economy Summit to meet with industry leaders from around the globe. See you there! #EconSpace

@virgingalactic @LifeAtPurdue @PurdueEngineers @PurdueAeroAstro A great partnership and exciting mission!

The 'Cradle of Astronauts' is graduating to our newest suborbital space lab. We’re thrilled to introduce Purdue 1, an educational exploration from Virgin Galactic and @LifeAtPurdue that creates a one-of-a-kind learning experience aboard a Virgin Galactic spaceflight. The flight will feature a five-person, all-Boilermaker crew of Purdue faculty, students and alumni, who will not only conduct original research but also expand the boundaries of the classroom beyond Earth in this exciting mission → bit.ly/VG-Purdue1

@PurdueAeroAstro The spaceship is a great sub-orbital science laboratory .

🚀🌌 Science in microgravity! Purdue’s Rotational Slosh Experiment soared to space on Virgin Galactic’s final VSS Unity flight! Studying liquid behavior in microgravity could revolutionize satellite fuel tank design. Who knew sloshing fuel could smooth space travel?

@virgingalactic @LifeAtPurdue @PurdueEngineers Thanks for the great flight in your awesome sub-orbital laboratory!

From Boiler Up to Blasting Off! 🚀Purdue University's (@LifeAtPurdue) legacy in space continues with Dr. Steven Collicott and a team of undergraduate students launching the Rotational Slosh experiment on #Galactic07. Learn more about the journey and the @PurdueEngineers: bit.ly/40xF6hD

@virgingalactic @Axiom_Space @NASA @tuajans @PurdueEngineers @UCBerkeley @harvardmed @METU_ODTU We had a great flight to space and back! Many thanks to NASA Flight Opportunities Program and the hard-working crew at Virgin Galactic!

We love research! Here’s the lowdown on all the science heading to space on #Galactic07 → bit.ly/G07-Research-P…

@PurdueAeroAstro We had a great flight to space and back! Many thanks to NASA Flight Opportunities Program and the hard-working crew at Virgin Galactic!

Prof. @CollicottSteven's rotational slosh experiment is about to launch on the final flight of VSS Unity!

Was a beautiful flight today!

One research payload is from @PurdueAeroAstro / Steven Collicott as PI.

Today’s #NS24 mission stats: 🚀 Crew capsule apogee: 347,601 ft. AGL / 351,248 ft. MSL (106 km AGL / 107 km MSL). 🚀 Booster apogee: 347,208 ft. AGL / 350,855 ft. MSL (106 km AGL / 107 km MSL).

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.

The 'Galactic 05' flight window opens on Thursday, November 2, 2023. This research mission will be the 6th spaceflight in 6 months. Details → bit.ly/G05-Research-A… #Galactic05

@PurdueAeroAstro @LifeAtPurdue @PurdueEngineers And the students did great work!

"Hands-on, team-based engineering education on a real-world problem." You said it, @CollicottSteven! Opportunities like these are what make @lifeatpurdue @purdueengineers the best. Watch: buff.ly/3reM8IP

VSS Unity is now on its way home to Spaceport America, New Mexico. #Unity25

@Gedmark Way to go Boilermaker !

Upper stage 2nd burn complete. We are on our way to GEO baby!

“I never would have imagined I’d get to speak to one of my biggest role models.” As part of a new story + video series, “Engineering Heroes,” #PurdueEngineering facilitated a meeting with @PurdueAeroAstro student @ThendralKamal and AAE alumna and commercial astronaut @SirishaBandla. For more on the meeting, the conversation and the women, check out the full story and video: bit.ly/Heroes-BandlaK…

Shout out to @HigherOrbits and #PurdueAAE Prof. @CollicottSteven, who collaborated with middle-school students in New Albany, Indiana to send their experiments to space! higherorbits.org/press-release/…
