Footprints: Mike Hepfer
Undergrad IE student Mike Hepfer
Purdue IE student Mike Hepfer took a Giant Leap when he co-founded the startup Leo Aerospace while still at Purdue - and is now leaving his footprint in the aerospace industry.
Leo Aerospace's website states: "We believe it should be as easy to put a microsatellite into space as it is to ship a package across the country."
