Past

In 1958, Explorer 1 was the first spacecraft successfully launched by the U.S. and JPL continues to make history with many historic launches, orbits and landings. Click here to learn more.
Future

From modest beginnings in the era of early liquid rockets through state-of-the-art propulsion systems flown on 21st century spacecraft, get a glimpse into the next generation of space exploration. Click here to learn more.
Proposed

View mission concepts that are the most compelling and feasible as we push the boundaries of advanced instrument formulation and development. Click here to learn more.

Mars Exploration

Discovering the possibilities for past or present life on the Red Planet.

Mars Exploration

Among our discoveries about Mars, one stands out above all others: the possible presence of liquid water on Mars, either in its ancient past or preserved in the subsurface today.

THE SEARCH FOR ANOTHER EARTH

PlanetQuest

See how astronomers find exoplanets and characterize them.

PlanetQuest's list of "candidate exoplanets" comes from the Kepler mission. Kepler has made thousands of likely exoplanet discoveries, but in order for each planet to be considered "confirmed", its existence has to be verified using other instruments, a process that takes time.

Infographics

What is an infographic? As we see it, an infographic is artwork for your brain. It is a way of taking numbers, spreadsheets and all types of other highly technical data and combining it with interesting images and turning it into a one-page, easily digestible, fun-to-look-at graphic.

Earth Right Now

Earth system science is the study of how scientific data stemming from various fields of research, such as the atmosphere, oceans, land ice and others, fit together to form the current picture of our changing climate. Climate scientists separate factors that affect climate change into three categories: forcings, feedbacks, and tipping points.

Stars and Galaxies

The Universe is continually radiating a wealth of information to Earth, sending signals in wide-spectrum of light. However, not all of these messages reach the ground. Because our planet's atmosphere blocks most radiation coming in from space, humans need to launch telescopes beyond it to get a complete cosmic picture.
