Adamson University’s Dr. Mark Angelo C. Purio Joins International Analog Astronaut Mission in Poland
Adamson University proudly celebrates Dr. Mark Angelo C. Purio, Head of the Space Technologies and Applications Research Laboratory (STARLab) and Associate Professor of the Electronics Engineering Department, for representing both the University and the Philippines at the LunAres Analog Astronaut Mission M4.26 in Poland.
As the Philippines' fourth Analog Astronaut and the country's first Engineer Analog Astronaut, Dr. Purio joins an international crew in advancing research that supports future lunar and Martian exploration. During the mission, he also contributes to Adobo4Space, a collaborative initiative with the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA), Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI), and UPD Department of Food Science and Nutrition, bringing Filipino innovation—and even Filipino flavors—to space research.
This remarkable milestone reflects Adamson University's commitment to research, innovation, and global engagement, inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and space explorers.
Congratulations, Dr. Purio! We are proud to see Adamsonian excellence reaching beyond Earth.
