<p data-block-key="aa8z9">In anticipation of return to Lab, DesignLab in partnership with the Director's Office have created a limited-edition print for JPLers. In collaboration with renowned artist, Don Clark, DesignLab artist Joby Harris worked to create an image that spoke to the Lab as a whole, our incredible surroundings, and the incredible collaboration it takes to do the work we do.</p>

JPL Welcome Back Poster 2022

<p data-block-key="33kgb">This poster artfully depicts Solar Surfing, an early stage NASA study to support potential future missions that could travel closer to the Sun’s surface than ever before. The solar transition region, a very thin layer near the Sun’s surface, is of great interest to heliophysicists. In this zone, temperatures range from 10,000 to 1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit. The NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program funds a study by a team at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to further research a novel, highly reflective coating for a solar shield that could allow spacecraft to approach the Sun close enough to investigate this exciting region – about 500,000 miles from the surface. The better heliophysicists understand the Sun and how it generates energy, the better they can make predictions of the Sun’s effect on our planet – and improve our everyday communications, electronics, and transportation.</p>
