"Von Karman Lecture Series gif
Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

General Information

JPL’s Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series, presented by the Communications and Education Directorate, aims to bring the excitement of JPL’s missions, instruments and other technologies to an audience of both JPL employees and the general public.

Due to the ongoing circumstances concerning Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the von Karman series has become, for the time being, a completely virtual event, taking place once per month, while being recorded for you to enjoy at any time.  Until the time where we may see you all again in person, we thank you for your continued support and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Upcoming Lecture: Spacecraft Origami

For years, engineers have had to deal with "the tyranny of the fairing": anything you want to send into space has to fit into a rocket bearing.
