NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been a trailblazer in space exploration since it was established in the 1930s. America's first satellite, Explorer 1, was created at JPL and launched in 1958. In the decades that followed, JPL has become a leader in U.S. robotic exploration of space. JPL-managed missions have visited all the planets in our solar system. Pushing the outer edge of exploration, JPL oversees space telescopes that search for Earth-like planets. Closer to home, JPL instruments and satellites monitor Earth and study the effects of climate change.
