Directions: The presentation will be in the Von Karman auditorium at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), located at 4800 Oak Grove Drive in Pasadena. To reach JPL, take the Oak Grove Drive exit (in La Canada) from the 210 freeway, then turn to the east (away from the hills). At the next stoplight, which controls a T-intersection, turn left onto Oak Grove Drive, which ends at JPL. Once you arrive, ask the security guard to point you to the visitor parking area.
