Cislunar Initiative Overview

To create a sustainable presence beyond Earth, humans need to further expand into the region encompassing Earth and the moon, called “cislunar space.” That takes building an infrastructure that opens up economic expansion, just as the interstate highway system spurred economic growth in the U.S.

Purdue University's  Cislunar Initiative, announced Thursday (July 18), aims to take a leadership role in expanding access to cislunar space, suppling the building blocks for infrastructure, identifying and utilizing space resources, advancing the development of space policy and providing critical educational opportunities.
