Purdue Space Podcast covers the main event for the Midwest Rocketry Forum: a conference that invites all students, researchers, faculty, professionals, and teams passionate or curious about rockets to share, network, and discover the world of rocketry. The Midwest Rocketry Forum is inspired by the Spring Space Forum, an annual event run by Purdue Space Program (formerly Purdue SEDS) from 1998 until 2013 at Purdue University. The event hopes to retain the same spirit of bringing in industry professionals to discuss and debate the space industry.
