JPL stands for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory facility, located in Pasadena, California. The California Institute of Technology administrates the facility, but the funding is NASA. It's the home of the Deep Space Network, contributor to virtually all US space science flight missions, with a massive amount of image processing personnel on board. I worked there for four years in the Radar Sciences group, doing Synthetic Aperture Radar image processing, Orbital Debris Detection and other fun projects. JPL is the center for Mission Control and Flight Operations for Voyager, Galileo, Space Telescope and many other such robotic spacecraft. Godfrey
