JPL Opens Doors for Public Space Lab Experience in October
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory invites the public to Explore JPL, a free two-day open house on Oct. 10–11 (9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. PDT) featuring tours of iconic facilities and four themes: Missions That Changed the World, Moon to Mars, In Flight, and Makerspace. Tickets are scarce and distributed online on a first-come, first-served basis for timed slots (up to five tickets per request). Attendees age 18+ must show government ID; a long list of items isn’t allowed and bags are restricted, though parking is free. Highlights include the Space Flight Operations Facility, the Spacecraft Assembly Facility, robotics research, and full-scale models of Perseverance, Voyager, and Galileo.
