FFRDC Mission
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC). Located at the base of the foothills near Pasadena, CA, JPL is responsible for robotic exploration of the solar system. The Laboratory occupies 177 acres and employs about 6,000 people with an approximate budget of $2.7 billion. JPL has a wide-ranging charter for Earth science research, space exploration, astronomy, physics, and telecommunications. The Laboratory has received numerous small business utilization awards, including the prestigious U.S. Small Business Administrations’ Dwight D. Eisenhower Award of Excellence for their small business program efforts.
As part of the NASA team, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) enables the nation to explore space for the benefit of humankind by developing robotic space missions to explore our own and neighboring planetary systems. Search for life beyond the Earth’s confines. Further our understanding of the origins and evolution of the universe and the laws that govern it. Make critical measurements to understand our home planet and help protect its environment. Enable a virtual presence throughout the solar system using the Deep Space Network and evolving it to the Interplanetary Network of the future. Apply JPL’s unique skills to address problems of national significance. Inspire the next generation of explorers.
