This popular event celebrates JPL's accomplishments with exhibits and 
demonstrations about the Laboratory's ongoing research and space 
exploration. Many of the Lab's scientists and engineers are on hand to 
answer questions about how spacecraft are sent to other planets, how 
scientists utilize space technologies to explore Earth and how 
researchers are searching for planets beyond the solar system.
*
The Open House is a fun and educational experience for children too, 
with special hands-on activities designed for kids.*

*Admission and parking is free.* Please be advised that we will not have 
buses to and from the parking lots. There are also no internal bus tours 
this year. JPL will provide special needs vans for guests with mobility 
challenges throughout the day.

/Due to the recent confirmed cases of human swine flu in the US, the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are recommending that 
if you are sick or have family members who are sick, you should stay 
home and avoid contact with others. The CDC has also issued guidance 
stating that individuals with underlying medical conditions who are at 
high risk for complications of influenza may wish to consider avoiding 
large crowds. Additional information is available at the CDC website at
