Each crew will have between 6 to 7 members based on requirements, and backup members will be selected to fill support roles. There is an additional opportunity to apply for the Boiler Analog Mission Control to support each crew during their mission.
Available MDRS crew positions are described on the Purdue MDRS website homepage: https://tinyurl.com/4jbkv3eh<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.c…>. Note that any student/staff/faculty from any Purdue department can apply; however, applicants should be a good fit for the roles at MDRS. For example, there are journalist, artist, and human factors related roles that provide opportunity for arts, communications, and psychology major students to apply. The application link is: https://tinyurl.com/bddakxcy<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.c…>.
We are holding a Purdue MDRS information session and analog astronaut panel on Tuesday March 26, 2024 from 6 to 7 PM in ARMS, in which past crewmembers will share their experiences and answer any MDRS-related questions. Please attend and bring your questions! The application deadline is 11:59 PM EDT on March 31, 2024.

Venture Meets Mission argues that if business, government, and society come together, rebuild trust, and collaborate, we have a generational opportunity to address societal challenges like climate change, cybersecurity, disease outbreaks, food insecurity, and education. The book explains, with hope and passion, how our existing entrepreneurial ecosystem, reconnected to the ideals of democracy, can be the foundation for a new mission-driven capitalism.
The good news is the components of this problem-solving ecosystem already exist- people, purpose, and profit-and can be joined together for world-changing impact. The starting point is rebuilding broken trust among business, government, and society. The authors draw on their leadership experience with Silicon Valley innovation, venture capital, and the highest levels of the federal government. The book tells engaging stories of successful entrepreneurs, with diverse perspectives and intersectional experiences, who combine mission and venture to solve critical societal problems. Venture Meets Mission seeks to inspire a generation of students, young professionals, and entrepreneurs to pursue mission-driven ventures that can make the world a better place. It also explains how forward-thinking government officials and policymakers can harness private sector entrepreneurship and innovation to solve society's problems.
