Purdue University, along with our research team affiliates at Howard and Alabama A&M University, was selected by NASA to establish a new NSCORT (NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training) focusing on "advanced life support" in 2002. This cutting-edge center will support a 5-year, $10 million research program designed specifically to resolve the complex and crucial requirements of sustained human survival within an interplanetary space-based environment. These technical concerns represent a compelling, and highly interdisciplinary, challenge for the creative academic talents of our three participating universities, covering the following six major issues:

A NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in Advanced Life Support (ALS) was awarded during 2002 to a tripartite academic consortium consisting of Alabama A & M University (AAMU), Howard University (HU), and Purdue University (PU), with Purdue serving as lead university for the consortium.

The mission of the ALS NSCORT is to create and test proof of concept for a range of novel and innovative candidate life-support technologies to lower the Equivalent System Mass (ESM) penalties for developing independent life-support systems in space. >> Read More
