From a creek bed to the solar system: JPL turns 90
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is marking 90 years since its founding, when a small group of rocket experimenters tested motors in a dry creek bed near Pasadena, California. From those humble beginnings, JPL grew into the leading US center for robotic space exploration, responsible for missions across the solar system. Coverage celebrates the anniversary and the lab's nine decades of exploration.
Why now: The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is celebrating its 90th anniversary, prompting retrospectives on its history and achievements.
