Purdue University is known as the "cradle of astronauts" since 27 Purdue alumni have flown in space. Purdue's exceptional engineering program and history of spaceflight garners a significant interest in the Space Force for our cadets. We have established a Space Force Squadron within our detachment comprised of cadets intending to pursue a career in the Space Force.
