JPL and the Space Age Video Series

Post by petemn2004 »

I stumbled upon a documentary video series produced by JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab) about the lab’s early history and the development and operation of planetary missions created at the lab.

As of December 2023, JPL has created 16 documentaries.

JPL and the Space Age
Episode list
Episode 1: The American Rocketeer
Episode 2: Explorer 1
Episode 3: Destination Moon
Episode 4: The Changing Face of Mars
Episode 5: The Stuff of Dreams
Episode 6: The Footsteps of Voyager
Episode 7: To the Rescue
Episode 8: The Pathfinders
Episode 9: The Breaking Point

Episode 12: Landing on Mars
Episode 13: Triumph at Saturn (Part I)

I watch them on YouTube. JPL and the Space Age started airing on NASA TV and JPLs website.
They are at least about an hour long.
