History

The University of California, Office of the President's (UCOP) official involvement began in 2008 in response to NASA's 2002 Long Range Development Plan, which designated the Moffet Site for educational use. The current Berkeley-led effort began in December 2018. Since then, the campus has worked quickly and earnestly to assess the project and lay the foundation for its realization and success.
