Purdue大学2027年的亚轨道飞行将与教师、学生和校友一起测试微重力中的流体动态。 Purdue University’s 2027 suborbital flight will test fluid dynamics in microgravity with faculty, students, and alumni.

Purdue大学正在发射Purdue 1号,这是2027年与维尔京星银河系共同执行的一项全锅制造者亚轨道飞行任务,由航空航天学教授Steven Collicott、研究生Abigail Mizzi和3名无名校友组成。 Purdue University is launching Purdue 1, an all-Boilermaker suborbital mission with Virgin Galactic in 2027, featuring aerospace professor Steven Collicott, graduate student Abigail Mizzi, and three unnamed alumni. 该航班于2025年9月23日在Purdue的Neil Armstrong工程大厅宣布, 将对液体动态进行实时微重力研究, The flight, announced on September 23, 2025, at Purdue’s Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, will conduct real-time microgravity research on fluid dynamics, focusing on liquid behavior in zero gravity—critical for spacecraft design. Mizzi将测试美国航天局关于旋转坦克中液体流失实验的进化版。 Mizzi will test an evolved version of a NASA experiment on liquid sloshing in rotating tanks. 科利科特于2024年进行了类似的实验,他强调人的存在对适应性研究的价值。 Collicott, who flew a similar experiment in 2024, emphasizes the value of human presence for adaptive research. 该飞行任务是普鲁杜作为 " 宇航员中心 " 的遗产的一部分,目的是通过实践空间科学,扩大进入空间的学术机会和推进STEM教育。 The mission, part of Purdue’s legacy as the “Cradle of Astronauts,” aims to expand academic access to space and advance STEM education through hands-on space science.
