JPL TODAY
Our Role in the Competitive NASA

• 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
