The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) in La Cañada Flintridge, California, Crescenta Valley, United States. [1] Founded in 1936 by California Institute of Technology (Caltech) researchers, the laboratory is now owned and sponsored by NASA and administered and managed by Caltech. [2] [3]
Jet propulsion is produced by some reaction engines or animals when thrust is generated by a fast moving jet of fluid in accordance with Newton's laws of motion.It is most effective when the Reynolds number is high—that is, the object being propelled is relatively large and passing through a low-viscosity medium.
ammonia jet propulsion system; gas-jet propulsion system; used on Vega, Zenit, Cyclone and lot of soviet missiles; Okean-O, Sich-1, EgyptSat 1 and many Soviet spacecraft; Independence-X Aerospace: Malaysia ID-1, ID-2, ID-3 and unnamed 2-stage rocket engine for DNLV solid rocket motor and liquid rocket engine: used on ID-1, ID-2 and DNLV rocket ...
On Jan. 11, an airborne imaging spectrometer managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory flew over Los Angeles County to survey the damage from the historic fires.
In response, Malina and Tsien wrote a report dated 20 November 1943, which was the first document to use the Jet Propulsion Laboratory name. [13] Von Kármán added a cover memorandum, signing it as "Director, Jet Propulsion Laboratory," but as far as Caltech was concerned JPL did not yet formally exist. [14]
The Moscow-based Group for the Study of Reactive Motion (also known as the Group for the Investigation of Reactive Engines and Reactive Flight or Jet Propulsion Study Group; Russian: Группа изучения реактивного движения, Gruppa izucheniya reaktivnogo dvizheniya), abbreviated as GIRD (ГИРД), was a Soviet research bureau founded in 1931 to study various ...
The ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC), located at Mahendragiri of Tamil Nadu, is an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) centre involved in testing, assembling, and integrating propulsion systems and stages that are developed at ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centres. Formerly, IPRC was known as LPSC, Mahendragiri, functioning under LPSC ...
The Space Flight Operations Facility (SFOF) is a building containing a control room and related computing and communications equipment areas at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. NASA's Deep Space Network is operated from this facility.
