For some, the Sky isn’t the limit – it’s just the beginning.

A Space adventure can be within reach for College Students who later transition to Space Companies. Read about it from Purdue University’s Zucrow Laboratories:

🚀 Purdue Orbital has reached new heights — literally.

This student-led rocketry club at Purdue University recently broke records with the launch of Stratos II (38,000 ft) and Theseus — a modular airframe powered by their custom solid rocket motor, Jalapeño, the most powerful ever developed by students at Purdue.

💥 These milestones were made possible thanks to their hard work and focus. We at VALIMET, Inc. gave a little help with our Spherical Aluminum Powder, used by the Propulsion Team in developing Jalapeño.

We’re proud to have contributed to hands-on aerospace innovation at Zucrow Laboratories — the largest academic propulsion lab in the world.

With nearly 200 members, Purdue Orbital continues to innovate in both high-altitude balloon launches and SRAD sounding rockets, while promoting STEM education through outreach and mentorship.

What’s next?
Janus, a two-stage rocket coming this fall.
Stay tuned!
