The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a federally funded research and development center and NASA field center located in La Cañada Flintridge, California and Pasadena, California, United States.
The JPL is managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for NASA. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network.
Among the laboratory's current major active projects are the Mars Science Laboratory mission (which includes the Curiosity rover), the Cassini–Huygens mission orbiting Saturn, the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and asteroid Vesta, the Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter, the NuSTAR X-ray telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. They are also responsible for managing the JPL Small-Body Database, and provides physical data and lists of publications for all known small Solar System bodies.
In March I had the opportunity to tour NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. I had been wanting to visit JPL for years, so I was thrilled! Many thanks to JPL's Roslyn Soto for being our tour guide for the afternoon. ♡ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/michellemunteanu/ ۞ Twitter: https://twitter.com/meeshtangerine

Honey, I shrunk the satellites! Mini-satellites are following in the footsteps of cell phones and computers. CubeSats are small but highly capable of performing a variety of space missions. For more about our CubeSats, visit http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/

Space explorer Dr Charles Elachi, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explains how his team of engineers and scientists develop technology to explore space and find out if other life exists, in some form, at the 2014 IPENZ Pickering Lecture: Exploring The Unknown. Held in Wellington on March 24, the lecture was also in Christchurch, Hamilton and Auckland where Dr Elachi discussed how his team landed the robotic rover, Curiosity, on Mars in 2012 and plans for future missions and technology to land astronauts on the red planet within the next 20 years.
DEVELOP is a NASA Science Mission Directorate Applied Sciences training and development program. Interns work on Earth science research projects, mentored by science advisors from NASA and partner agencies and extend research results to local communities. The projects demonstrate to community leaders how NASA science measurements and predictions can be utilized to address local policy issues. http://develop.larc.nasa.gov/
What if outer space tourism were possible? The travel posters might look something like these. For its Visions of the Future project, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) commissioned artists to design a series of travel posters that depict an exotic locale in our solar system — from Venus and Mars to Ceres, the recently photographed dwarf planet — illustrated in a vintage style that evokes classic travel posters. Fourteen posters, including three new ones from artists Don and Ryan Clark, are available for free download and printing. “The posters are the brainchild of The Studio at JPL, a design and strategy team that works with JPL scientists and engineers to visualize and depict complex science and technology topics,” JPL writes. “Their work is used in designing space missions and in s...
In the last fifty years, dengue has infected up to 100 million people annually and is now considered the most important mosquito-borne viral disease. Utilizing NASA satellite data, it is possible to combat dengue by characterizing mosquito breeding habitats and, thus, predicting areas vulnerable to dengue.

[Intro:]
I feel like somebody's
Taking my heart
Stop throwing it away
I don't want it anymore
I don't wanna feel like this no more
[Verse 1:]
I'm like a bird with no wings to fly
Can't go no where
No matter how I try
Like a pair of eyes
With no tears to cry
Feels like I'm barely alive
[Hook:]
I just wanna rip my heart
Out of my chest
I'm fed up
And put it in a box away
Tie it to a rock
And throw it over the edge
And let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
[Chorus:]
Like the Titanic
That was lost at sea
Let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
I wanna lock it up
And throw away the key
Let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
Let it sink to the bottom
To the bottom
Let it fall to the bottom
To the bottom
Of the Atlantic
[Verse 2:]
It's like I'm bleeding internally
And I can feel sharp pains in my chest
It's like the doctor
Ran out of my medicine
And I can feel in through my flesh
[Hook:]
I just wanna rip my heart
Out of my chest
I'm fed up
And put it in a box away
Tie it to a rock
And throw it over the edge
And let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
[Chorus:]
Like the Titanic
That was lost at sea
Let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
I wanna lock it up
And throw away the key
Let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
Let it sink to the bottom
To the bottom
Let it fall to the bottom
To the bottom
Of the Atlantic
[Bridge:]
Like woo
I'm sinking at the bottom
And it's going down because of you
Gotta let it go
Just didn't know what else I can do
Cross the seven seas
But still I'm lost and so confused
Cause I just can't take it
No need to fake it because it's true
I'm sinking at the bottom
And it's going down because of you
Gotta let it go
Just didn't know what else I can do
I just wanna rip my heart out of my chest
Throw it away
[Chorus:]
Like the Titanic
That was lost at sea
Let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
I wanna lock it up
And throw away the key
Let it sink to the bottom
Of the Atlantic
Let it sink to the bottom
To the bottom
Let it fall to the bottom
To the bottom
Of the Atlantic
[Bridge:]
Like woo
I'm sinking at the bottom
And it's going down because of you
Gotta let it go
Just didn't know what else I can do
Cross the seven seas
But still I'm lost and so confused
Cause I just can't take it
No need to fake it because it's true
I'm sinking at the bottom
