The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

Don Bickler came to California in August of 1959 to work on automating the manufacture of solar cells for Hoffman Electronics. The project ended and Bickler switched to making solar measurements. The project tested individual cells under tungsten incandescent lamps and panels (large dimensions) under natural sunlight. Bickler set up a radiometric laboratory and built equipment to evaluate sunlight during testing. Table Mountain was already chosen as the best site for clear sky and high elevation...
