Owning InstitutionPurdue University
Item IDPA00094
DescriptionInvolvement with Aeronautics and Astronautics extends back to the Purdue Aero Club of 1910 and the first aeronautical courses offered in 1921. Pioneers like Macolm Ross in the Strato-Lab tested the space suit used by the Mercury astronauts and Iven Kincheloe, Jr. in the X-2 aircraft was the first to fly above 100, 000 feet. Our 22 astronauts include Virgil "Gus" Grissom who was the second American in space, Neil Armstrong the first man to set foot on the Moon, and Jerry Ross who holds the record for the most space flights undertaken by any astronaut.
