English: NASA opened its doors to media and social media its annual "State of NASA" event, Monday, Feb. 10, 2020, at the agency’s locations across the country, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. JPL hosted 29 digital creators to learn how the center’s robotic missions help future human exploration of the Moon and Mars. Participants met scientists and engineers, and went behind the scenes in mission control, an indoor "Mars Yard" for testing landers and rovers, and the Spacecraft Assembly Facility, where Mars 2020, NASA's next rover, is preparing for launch later this year.
