1,000 Day Plan

Space Science and Engineering

Tulane’s proximity to NASA Michoud and the Stennis Space Center, alongside partnerships with companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and SpaceX, positions the university to lead in space exploration. This initiative is advancing biomedical and biochemical systems for space, energy and catalysis (for renewables and rocket fuel), and the development of advanced materials for spacecraft and robotics. Work in Resilient Habitats will complement this area, creating synergies that further strengthen Tulane’s leadership.
