After a three-year hiatus, the public will once again have the opportunity to visit NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena during a special free open house this October.

The event is scheduled for October 10 and 11, giving visitors a rare chance to explore the facility that serves as a command center for some of NASA’s most ambitious robotic missions. JPL is operated by Caltech and has played a central role in exploring planets, asteroids and other worlds across the solar system.
The open house is expected to offer visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the science and engineering behind NASA’s space missions. Guests may have the opportunity to learn about spacecraft, planetary exploration and the technology used to operate robotic explorers millions or even billions of miles from Earth.
Because the event is free and JPL has not welcomed the public for an open house in three years, demand for tickets is expected to be extremely high. Visitors will need to reserve tickets in advance, and those interested in attending are encouraged to sign up as soon as reservations become available.
For space enthusiasts, families and anyone curious about what happens behind the scenes of NASA missions, the October open house offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Southern California’s most important scientific institutions firsthand. With limited tickets expected to be available, prospective visitors should keep an eye on official event announcements and be ready to reserve their spots quickly.
