关于我们

Formed in 1936, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a federally funded research and development center managed for NASA by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech.) JPL joined NASA as an FFRDC when the agency was founded in 1958. JPL helped open the Space Age by developing America's first Earth-orbiting science satellite, creating the first successful interplanetary spacecraft, and sending robotic missions to the solar system. Today, JPL continues its world-leading innovation, implementing programs in planetary exploration, Earth science, space-based astronomy and technology development while applying its capabilities to technical and scientific problems of national significance. We have big aspirations, driven by our values. We aim to be: Bold, Inclusive, Trusted. We turn ideas for science investigation into the reality of groundbreaking space missions, partnering with our strategic business teams to guide JPL into the future. We Dare Mighty Things Together.

  • After spending time inside NASA’s Johnson Space Center's historic Chamber A for environmental tests, we're excited to welcome NEO Surveyor's instrument enclosure back to JPL for the next portion of its assembly! More on the work that will take place over the coming weeks: go.nasa.gov/3XZyZAP Ever wonder what spacecraft assembly looks like? Now you can watch as NEO Surveyor (and its "roomie" ASTHROS) come together in our clean room with a 24/7 live cam: https://lnkd.in/gvjNzfNi

  • Inspiring the next generation of problem solvers ?? For many students, the FIRST Robotics competition is more than just a game – it’s a chance to learn directly from STEM professionals. Engineers and scientists worked alongside high school students as they competed in this year's intense, ocean-themed robotics challenge. For the LA regional competition, JPL has coordinated volunteers – and provided coaching and mentoring to teams, judges, and other competition support – for 25 years. go.nasa.gov/4iQBkps

    • A large crowd of students, mentors, and spectators fills the bleachers of a gymnasium, dressed in various team colors, cheering and watching a robotics competition. On the competition field, multiple student-built robots maneuver around, launching green balls into a tall scoring structure labeled 'REEFSCAPE.' Volunteers and referees in blue and black-and-white striped shirts oversee the event, while team members operate their robots from behind control stations. The scene is full of excitement and energy as teams compete in the FIRST Robotics competition.

  • The deadline is approaching to apply for NASA’s 37th annual Planetary Science Summer School program, a three-month-long career development program for doctoral students, recent Ph.D.s, postdocs, and junior faculty who have a strong interest in science-driven robotic space exploration missions. ? Participants learn the process of developing a hypothesis-driven robotic space mission in a concurrent engineering environment while getting an in-depth, first-hand look at mission design, life cycle, costs, schedule and the trade-offs inherent in each. ? View details and eligibility requirements, and submit your application by March 18: https://lnkd.in/eRiabxGC

  • In case you missed it: On Tuesday, NASA’s next cosmic mapmaker – SPHEREx – launched to begin its quest to help scientists better understand the structure of the universe, how galaxies form and evolve, and the origins and abundance of water and other key ingredients for life in our galaxy. Here are some highlights from launch ??

  • NASA’s newest astrophysics observatory is on its way to study the origins of our universe and the history of galaxies and to search for the ingredients of life in our galaxy. ?? SPHEREx lifted off at 8:10 p.m. PDT on March 11 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Teams have received full acquisition of signal from the observatory, indicating that the spacecraft is functioning nominally and is power positive. It will begin its two-year prime mission after a roughly one-month checkout period, during which engineers and scientists will make sure the spacecraft is working properly. ?? https://lnkd.in/gniNJE_i??

    • A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off from Vandenberg Space Force Base at night, carrying NASA’s SPHEREx and PUNCH missions. The bright glow of the rocket’s engines illuminates the surrounding area, with a trail of smoke and steam billowing from the launchpad against the dark sky.

  • Planning to attend next week's Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas? JPL scientists will be there presenting multiple oral talks and papers related to the planet Uranus. These presentations and others will help JPL and the community plan for the Uranus Orbiter and Probe mission, the highest priority new Flagship in the Planetary and Astrobiology Decadal Survey from 2023. ? ? Tuesday, March 11: Two paper presentations about the moons of Uranus, 4:40pm and 4:50pm (Details: https://lnkd.in/gtKiCvie) ? ? Thursday, March 13: Five presentations led by JPL scientists on the planet's origin, interior and magnetosphere, 2:15-3:45pm (Details: https://lnkd.in/gUQE6rJK), plus two additional papers on the moon of Uranus that will be presented in the poster session on Thursday evening ? We hope to see you there!

    • A nearly featureless, pale blue-green sphere against the blackness of space. This image of Uranus was captured by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986.

  • After decades of discovery, engineers are making tough calls to extend the twin Voyager missions. Voyager 1’s Cosmic Ray Subsystem, which helped confirm its passage into interstellar space, has now been turned off. Next, Voyager 2’s Low-Energy Charged Particle instrument will be powered down, its motor having completed more than 8.5 million steps over the mission's 47 years. Three science instruments will continue to operate on each spacecraft. These spacecraft have been resilient far beyond expectations, and each of these decisions helps them continue sending back invaluable data from the space between the stars.

    • An artist's concept of the Voyager spacecraft floating against a vibrant cosmic backdrop of deep purple and blue hues. The spacecraft's large parabolic dish antenna is prominently featured, with its extended boom arms and various scientific instruments silhouetted against a star-filled sky. The scene evokes a sense of deep space exploration as the spacecraft continues its journey beyond the solar system.

  • What’s up, skywatchers? It's March! ?? A total lunar eclipse will be visible across the Americas overnight on March 13 and into the 14th, depending on your time zone. Other highlights for the month include Jupiter and Mars high in the evening skies, and a chance to spot fast-moving Mercury for those in the Northern Hemisphere March 7-9.
