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.
