The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a federally funded research and development center managed by Caltech for NASA, is a leading center for robotic space exploration. JPL designs, builds, and operates planetary robotic spacecraft, Earth-orbit, and astronomy missions, including rovers sent to Mars, probes to the outer solar system, and satellites studying Earth. It also manages NASA's Deep Space Network and partners with organizations like NASA, ESA, and universities like Georgia Tech to advance space science and technology.
