**Yesterday, Today **
**          ****and Tomorrow**

**Notes:**
Welcome attendees.

Introduce yourself. 

Inform the audience you’re going to provide a brief overview of JPL, including who we are - for those first time conference attendees - , our recent successes, what missions, projects, instruments and services JPL plans to develop or have procurement opportunities in.

## JPL Yesterday

**JPL Yesterday**

## ... or shall we say ‘yesteryear’.

**... ****or shall we say ‘yesteryear’.**

*What a year!*

-  JPL YESTERDAY

**Notes:**
While these photos self-run, provide a overview of the big successes JPL has had over the last year. Thank our subcontractors in the audience for their partnership that make these missions happen.

(i.e. MER - Opportunity and Spirit, Cassini, Spitzer)

## Seventeen JPL spacecraft and three major instruments operating across the solar system

**Seventeen JPL spacecraft and three major instruments operating across the solar system**

**Two Voyagers on an interstellar mission**

**Cassini studying Saturn**

**Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey orbiters;  “Spirit” and  “Opportunity” on Mars**

**Ulysses, Genesis, and ACRIMSAT studying the sun**

**Stardust returning comet dust**

**Topex/Poseidon, QuikSCAT, Jason 1, and GRACE  (plus ASTER, MISR, and AIRS instruments) monitoring Earth**

**GALEX studying UV universe**

**Spitzer studying stars and galaxies in the infrared**

-  JPL TODAY

**Notes:**
With these 2004 success, JPL now has 17 spacecraft and 3 major instruments operating in the solar system.

## JPL Today

**JPL Today**

- Background and Roles

## Federally (NASA) - owned
University (Caltech) - operated
$1.4 billion business base
5400 employees and contractors
177 acres
134 buildings and 57 trailers
670,000 net square feet of office space
860,000 net square feet of non-office space (e.g., labs)

**Background**

-  JPL TODAY

**Notes:**
JPL is one of ten NASA centers
JPL is a federally-funded research and development center (FFRDC)
It’s operated by contractor (Caltech) employees, through a contract between NASA and Caltech
It is not operated by NASA employees

## JPL competes for its missions, just like industry
NASA issues requirements, Announcement of Opportunities (AO), which JPL competes for along with other organizations, e.g.:
Discovery;
New Frontiers; or
Explorer class missions
JPL tries to implement one or more missions in-house at all times, to maintain our skill base

## JPL Tomorrow:

**JPL Tomorrow:**
- Projected Opportunities

**Notes:**
So, this is where we need your help - your partnerships. 

## JPL Implementation Modes:1996 - Present

**JPL Executes Missions In 3 Modes**
- System Subcontract: JPL procures
-      spacecraft from industry
-      (total=13)
- 2. Mixed Mode: JPL and
-     industry share
-     Spacecraft development
-     (total=31)
- 3. In-House: JPL performs all
-     aspects of mission (total=10)

**Notes:**
At JPL we go about missions three ways. Tell them why this is important to know and how to use this information to focus on potential business.....
