Our Mission

Dedicated to the development of both our technology and our members

Here at Orbital, we strive to provide our members not only with the opportunity to participate in exciting projects but also social and professional development that they will carry with them long after they leave the team. Through their work on the team and in the community, we hope to create a generation of bright minds that will inspire others to reach for the stars.

As a colligate student organization here at Purdue University, we offer many unique opportunities for students to gain real hands on technical or professional skills before entering the workforce. From design, to manufacturing, to operations, to leadership there is always an opportunity to learn and to grow in Purdue Orbital.
