The SETI Institute is a not-for-profit research organization incorporated in 1984 whose mission is to explore, understand, and explain the origin and nature of life in the universe, and to use this knowledge to inspire and guide present and future generations, sharing knowledge with the public, the press, and the government.
The Berkeley SETI Research Center also hosts the Breakthrough Listen program, [4] [5] [6] which is a ten-year initiative with $100 million funding begun in July 2015 to actively search for intelligent extraterrestrial communications in the universe, in a substantially expanded way, using resources that had not previously been extensively used for the purpose.
The science program for Breakthrough Listen is based at Berkeley SETI Research Center, [5] [6] located in the Astronomy Department [7] at the University of California, Berkeley. The project uses radio wave observations from the Green Bank Observatory and the Parkes Observatory , and visible light observations from the Automated Planet Finder ...
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a collective term for scientific searches for intelligent extraterrestrial life.Methods include monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets, [1] [2] [3] optical observation, and the search for physical artifacts.
NASA SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Microwave Observing Project sites in 1992. The communication with extraterrestrial intelligence (CETI) is a branch of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) that focuses on composing and deciphering interstellar messages that theoretically could be understood by another technological civilization.

Andrew Siemion is the Principal Investigator for the Breakthrough Listen program. [4] Siemion received a B.A. degree in 2008, an M.A. degree in 2010, and a Ph.D. degree in 2012, all in astrophysics from the University of California, Berkeley. In 2018, Siemion was named the Bernard M. Oliver Chair for SETI at the SETI Institute. [5]
Active SETI (Active Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is the attempt to send messages to intelligent extraterrestrial life. Active SETI messages are predominantly sent in the form of radio signals. Physical messages like that of the Pioneer plaque may also be considered an active SETI message.
The SETI Institute started a refurbishment and upgrade program for the ATA in 2019, and in 2020 it also took over the operation of the observatory from SRI. The earliest experiments in millimeter-wave astronomy were performed at this site starting in the 1970s when a 2-element interferometer was constructed.
