Inspiring 'the next generation of explorers' fuels big partnership between UC Berkeley, NASA

UC Berkeley has announced plans to open a 36-acre space center at NASA Ames in Silicon Valley to create new opportunities in a fast-growing field.

Hannah Nabavi remembers how the stars in the night sky mesmerized her as a girl, inspiring awe and humility against the vast cosmos. Now a senior at UC Berkeley, Nabavi continues to pursue that passion for space as an engineering physics major and founder of a campus club to research and develop advanced structures needed in aerospace. Eventually, she hopes to work in the commercial space industry.
