JPL Annual Report
Director's Message
Reflecting on 2023, this was a foundational year for JPL as we launched signature initiatives that will position the Lab to succeed and lead well into the future.
We updated and simplified our values – who we aspire to be – to Bold, Inclusive, and Trusted. We established seven strategic imperatives that will guide our focus as we prepare for our next century of groundbreaking innovation and exploration. Most importantly, we navigated challenges and celebrated successes that are only possible because of our shared passion for imagining and then achieving what others think impossible.
The work we’re doing now will lead to transformational scientific and technological discovery beyond what we can imagine for decades to come. My hope for the years ahead is that we can dream fearlessly, act boldly, and keep daring mighty things together.
