each crew during their mission. Available MDRS crew positions are described on the Purdue MDRS website homepage:
https://tinyurl.com/4jbkv3eh. 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. 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. Please contact
