ExploreJPL is BAAAAAAAACK...!!!

[Mark Baker]

I'm happy to announce that after too long of a hiatus, ExploreJPL is returning on October 10–11, 2026, to celebrate NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's 90th anniversary. 

This free, immersive, two-day event in Pasadena allows space enthusiasts to tour mission control, see rover prototypes, and view spacecraft assembly clean rooms, but tickets are required and highly competitive...

I will remind you all as we get close so you are ready for ticket release... I'm not sure what venue I will be working but will look forward to seeing you!!!

• Release Date: Timed-entry registration opens at 9:00 a.m. PDT on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
• Limit: Maximum of five tickets per requestor.
• How to book: Reservations are made online—set an alert and bookmark the official Explore JPL Registration Page to secure your spot.

Clear, Dark Skies...
