Sabrina Thompson is a pioneering figure in the world of aerospace engineering, an advocate for women in STEM, and the visionary CEO and Founder of GIRL IN SPACE CLUB. With a multifaceted career that encompasses roles at NASA as an Aerospace Engineer/Astrodynamicist, as well as an Atmospheric Physicist, she has established herself as a leading force in space exploration and innovation.

At NASA, Sabrina's expertise lies in designing orbits and trajectories, a critical aspect of space missions reminiscent of the legendary Katherine Johnson's contributions. Her work involves calculating precise paths for spacecraft, optimizing efficiency, and ensuring successful missions. Sabrina's exceptional skills in this field have earned her the respect and admiration of her peers.

In addition to her accomplishments at NASA, Sabrina has been recognized with numerous awards and honors for her remarkable contributions to the aerospace industry. She holds a U.S. Patent for her groundbreaking invention, a miniaturized astrometric alignment sensor, which enhances the guidance, navigation, and control systems for both distributed and non-distributed applications.

Despite her technical prowess, Sabrina also embraces her artistic side, proudly referring to herself as an "Artsy" engineer. This unique perspective has fueled her passion for innovation and inspired her to found GIRL IN SPACE CLUB in 2018 under the name LAUNCHPAD. The organization has since evolved into a platform that combines space exploration with art and fashion to engage and inspire youth, particularly young girls, in STEM fields.

Under Sabrina's leadership, GIRL IN SPACE CLUB has developed a signature creative STEM educational program called STEMulating Art®. By using space-themed art, a captivating sci-fi book series, and a distinctive fashion line, the organization addresses the specific needs and aspirations of women in space travel while motivating the next generation of female innovators.

Sabrina's commitment to pushing boundaries extends to the realm of flight suits and spacesuits. In 2022, she spearheaded a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, raising over $80K to bring to life the first women's space travel suit. This patent-pending flight suit incorporates an innovative feature that allows women to use the bathroom without having to remove the entire suit, ensuring convenience and comfort during Earth-based and space missions. The design represents a significant advancement in spacesuit technology and addresses a long-standing challenge faced by females in aviation and space.

Born in Riverside, California to Chinese immigrant parents, Garrett Wang (pronounced Wong) spent his formative years on the move, living in Indiana, Bermuda and Tennessee. He moved to Los Angeles to attend UCLA where he majored in East Asian Studies and minored in theater. He was especially proud of his portrayal of Michio Tanaka in Wakako Yamauchi’s play "12-1-A," which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the wrongful internment of Japanese American civilians during World War II. In his first stage performance outside of UCLA, Garrett garnered critical acclaim as the lead in Chay Yew's controversial play, "Porcelain."

For five years, Garrett focused on theater and attempted to convince his Asian parents and relatives that acting was a viable profession as opposed to becoming a Doctor as he had originally planned since Eighth Grade. With his parents finally on his side, he signed with his first talent agent in 1993. Within a year he landed his first speaking role, guest starring on the first episode of the ABC sitcom "All American Girl" starring comedienne Margaret Cho. Three months later, Wang was cast in the role of Harry Kim on "Star Trek Voyager." In addition to being a series regular on Voyager, Garrett was named as one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People as well as one of E! Channel's "20 Coolest Bachelors."

From 2005 until 2019, Garrett took an extended break from Hollywood. With the exception of the occasional cameo appearance in a few independent projects, Garrett focused on traveling, golfi ng, designing T-shirts, attending conventions, and watching NFL football. In 2020, he began recording episodes of his Star Trek podcast, “The Delta Flyers.” With his Voyager co-star, Robert Duncan McNeill, he continues to upload a new episode weekly. He is especially proud of his most recent acting credit doing voiceover work on the fi fth and fi nal season of “Star Trek; Lower Decks.”
