Departmental Overview
---------------------
The Space Sciences Laboratory (SSL) is an Organized Research Unit (ORU) of
the Berkeley campus reporting to the Vice Chancellor for Research. SSL's
primary goal is to foster research in space-related sciences and to provide
education for the next generation of space scientists. Research at SSL, led
by Berkeley faculty and SSL Senior Fellows, focuses on experiments and
observations carried out in space as well as theoretical and basic research.

Since its inception in 1959, SSL has participated in over 50 NASA space
science missions, including the Apollo, Mars, Discovery, and Explorer
programs, as well as many international space missions. SSL researchers
have pioneered the development of instrumentation for study of the Sun, the
interplanetary medium, the planets, and the Earth; for ultraviolet, x-ray,
gamma-ray, and infrared astronomy; and for the measurement of the cosmic
microwave background. SSL provides the engineering and technical
capabilities required to develop and fabricate individual space
instruments, an entire scientific payload for a spacecraft, or an entire
space mission from start-to-finish-complete with in-house instrument design
and fabrication; instrument and spacecraft integration and testing; launch
support; mission and science operations, including commanding the
spacecraft and bringing the data down to SSL's own ground station; and data
processing and analysis.
