The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), an operating division of the California Institute of Technology, is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) lead center for the robotic exploration of the solar system. JPL also conducts a variety of research and development work for other federal agencies. Through these efforts, the Laboratory creates a wealth of technology and expertise in key fields -- from space science and instruments, through telecommunications and spacecraft component design and systems integration, to automation, microdevices, electronics, and software.

JPL's Commercial Technology organization maintains a Technology Transfer home page at http://techtransfer.jpl.nasa.gov which allows users to view (and request additional information on) thousands of technologies which were developed at JPL (or under contract to JPL). Information is also available on how various organizations can work with JPL on projects or problems.
