Asteroid Watch In 1998, The NASA Near-Earth Object Program Office was established at JPL to coordinate NASA-sponsored efforts to detect, track and characterize potentially hazardous asteroids and comets that could approach the Earth. Earth-like Planets What s an Exoplanet? A trillion planets in our galaxy alone and many of them in Earth’s size range. What is an Exoplanet? All of the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun. Planets that orbit around other stars are called exoplanets. Click here to see how many we have found so far. Big ideas, small satellites What are CubeSats? At the forefront of helping redefine the way we do science in space. What are CubeSats? A CubeSat (U-class spacecraft) is a type of miniaturized satellite for space research that is made up of multiples of 10×10×10 cm cubic units. Click to learn more. Deep Space Network What is the DSN? The largest international array of giant radio antennas supporting interplanetary spacecraft missions. What is the Deep Space Network? The DSN consists of three facilities spaced equidistant from each other – approximately 120 degrees apart in longitude – around the world. These sites are at Goldstone, near Barstow, California; near Madrid, Spain; and near Canberra, Australia. Click to learn more. Download our calendar and celebrate space exploration with us.
