Space Technologies at California

We are advancing the frontier of student space exploration at UC Berkeley through team-based projects focused on satellite fabrication, lunar rover and robot prototyping, and microgravity and bioengineering experimentation for space applications. Space Technologies at Cal (STAC) is a student-run engineering organization at the University of California, Berkeley with 60+ highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students focused on developing innovative space technologies and research. We are creating a collaborative student space platform, incorporating multiple research labs and industry partners, to enable research projects such as microgravity experiments, a CubeSat qualifying and testing a quantum gyroscope, an Autonomous Lunar Rover project, space bioengineering for astronaut health, and a jumping robot for exploring lunar landscapes. As student researchers, scientists, and engineers, we aim to push the frontier of space innovation with each of our projects and provide valuable experience for our members. With QubeSat launching to the ISS next year and TIME II launching with Blue Origin this winter, STAC is eager to send UC Berkeley to space and beyond! In addition to innovating and working on cool projects, STAC is committed to energizing the UC Berkeley aerospace community. In 2022, we hosted the third Space Tech Symposium @ Berkeley, with over 200 attendees from all corners of the Bay Area space community. Our events' past speakers have included CEOs and Co-founders of companies like Planet, Astra, Google's Project Loon, Astranis, NASA and UC Berkeley researchers, and investors from venture capital firms. We're committed to continuing our annual tradition of bringing together the best and brightest in space.
