The Jet Propulsion Laboratory

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a NASA research center in California that specializes in developing and managing robotic spacecraft. It designs, builds, and operates missions to explore planets, moons, asteroids, and the sun. JPL's work includes sending robotic explorers like the Mars rovers, satellites studying Earth’s climate, and missions studying distant planets. It combines engineering, science, and innovation to extend our understanding of the solar system and beyond. JPL’s team of scientists and engineers collaborate closely with NASA and international partners to advance space exploration technology and scientific discovery.
