Vision Statement
Enable or enhance JPL/NASA missions, instruments, and science by harnessing the powerful and continuously improving microfabrication tools developed by the semiconductor industry to develop critical microelectronic components and technologies that are otherwise unavailable, from invention to space flight.
The work and contributions of the talented MDL scientists, technologists, and research staff hold the promise of further extensions of our ability to peer into the far reaches of our solar system, other galaxies, and the very beginnings of our universe. At Microdevices Laboratory, we believe big things come from small technologies.
