Galaxy Evolution Explorer Uses ultraviolet wavelengths to measure the history of star formation 80 percent of the way back to the Big Bang. + Mission home page Keck Interferometer Links two 10-meter (33-foot) telescopes, which form the world's most powerful optical telescope system. + Telescope home page Palomar Observatory A joint effort between JPL and the California Institute of Technology, the Palomar Observatory houses a collection of famous telescopes. + Palomar home page Spitzer Space Telescope Uses infrared technology to study celestial objects that are too cool, too dust-enshrouded or too far away to otherwise be seen. + Mission home page Ulysses Orbits sun around the north and south poles. + Mission home page Voyager to the Outer Planets Voyager 1 and 2 flew past Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 also flew by Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is now approaching interstellar space. + Mission home page Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 This camera, designed and built at JPL, served as the main camera capturing pictures on NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. It still takes images of planets, stars and galaxies. + Hubble home page FUTURE MISSIONS Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer Two telescopes on Mount Graham, Ariz., will identify faint dust clouds around other stars that might hinder planet-finding missions. Managed by Univ. of Arizona, Tucson. + Telescope home page Herschel Space Observatory Space-based telescope that will study the universe by the light of the far-infrared and submillimeter portions of the spectrum. + Mission home page Kepler Mission Mission will search for Earth-like planets with the "transit" method. + Mission home page Mid Infrared Instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope The James Webb Space Telescope is designed to study the earliest galaxies and some of the first stars formed after the Big Bang. JPL is managing the development of the Mid Infrared Instrument, one of the three focal plane istruments on the infrared space telescope. + Instrument home page + James Webb Space Telescope site Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer Space-based telescope will scan the entire sky in infrared light, revealing cool stars, planetary construction zones and the brightest galaxies in the universe. + Mission home page Space Interferometry Mission This mission is an orbiting interferometer, which will link multiple telescopes to function in unison as a much larger "virtual telescope." + Mission home page + Proposed missions |
