About
Join us for a powerful evening with three leaders of space exploration from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.From launching the very first U.S. satellite in 1958 to landing rovers on Mars, from fighting climate change to discovering 1000s of other worlds, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) 'dares mighty things' by imagining and then achieving what others might think impossible. With a full manifest of missions, JPL seeks to have an expanded positive impact on the space ecosystem for decades to come.
