NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, California, invites the public to our annual Open House on October 10 – 11, 2015. The event takes visitors on a “ride” through the wonders of space. Highlights include a life-size model of the Curiosity Mars rover; demonstrations from numerous space missions; JPL’s machine shop, where robotic spacecraft parts are built; and the Microdevices Lab, where engineers and scientists use tiny technology to revolutionize space exploration.

The event and parking are free. No tickets or formal RSVP required. We recommend coming early for the best parking and shortest lines. Follow @NASAJPL on Twitter and Instagram, and see images from last year’s event using the hashtag #JPLOpen.
