Tim Canham: Since Ingenuity is classified as a technology demo, JPL is willing to accept more risk. The main unmanned projects like rovers and deep space explorers are what’s called Class B missions, in which there are many people working on ruggedized hardware and software over many years....
In one experiment at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), sails were driven to liftoff using microwave beams, while laser beams were used to push the sail forward. Once launched, the sails are deployed using an inflatable boom system that is triggered by a built-in deployment mechanism. ...

Mainzer will be the PI for NEO Surveyor as well, and is already busy overseeing the arrival of hardware for the spacecraft ahead of integration. Before that launch, though, the team is still working on closing out the NEOWISE mission and all that it involves. NASA doesn’t like to show...
Webb is tasked with answering a lot of life's greatest mysteries, like how did life develop on Earth; how do galaxies, like this one known as Messier 81, form; and was there ever life on Mars? NASA/JPL-Caltech/ESA/Harvard-Smithsonian CfA The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest...
Mars called Curiosity that is in exactly that situation. Despite Mars being the closest planet to Earth, it is still on average 225million kilometres from us. Due to this distance and despite communicating at the speed of light, this means that when the NASA mission controllers in JPL, Pa...
One of the things we did at JPL that was successful was to bring the interns in, they rejuvenated the organization, but we needed to have projects for them to come in and work on right away. Manjula Sriram: We have a program called Uplinks. It's working with the newer generation of...
