California Institute of Technology

The California Institute of Technology (or Caltech) was and institution of higher learning located in California on Earth. Caltech was noted for its strong emphasis on the natural sciences and engineering. It was also the home of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

History and specifics[]

When Gary Seven infiltrated the San Lobos Atomic Research Facility in 1968, his false credentials claimed he had studied (or taught) at Caltech. (TOS - Star Trek: Assignment: Earth comic: "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns")

In 1999, Caltech successfully transported photons several feet, using communications technology to migrate its properties from one light beam to another. (Star Trek Communicator Issue 121: "This isn't Reality! This is Fantasy!")

In the 2270s decade, students hoping to attend could earn a qualifying education at Cal-Tech Prep. (TOS eBook: Shadow of the Machine)
