WELCOME

Table Mountain Facility (TMF) is a unique, remote scientific and engineering
facility that produces innovative results. TMF is a Jet Propulsion Laboratory
(JPL) asset and is classified as a Remote Site. Our facility provides an ideal
location for many research projects, including Astronomy, LIDAR, and projects
for universities and colleges. The innovative results of many of our projects
are possible due to TMF's remote location, altitude, climate, and lack of light
contamination in the dark sky. TMF is historically one of the best places in the
U.S. for cloudless night time skies, essential for astronomy and atmospheric
remote sensing.


OUR FUNDING

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a Federally Funded Research and Development
Center (FFRDC). It is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) and managed by the California Institute of Technology
(Caltech). It is operated for the Chief Scientist by the Earth and Space
Sciences Division (Div 32). Approximately 80% funding for TMF is provided by the
Science and Technology Management Committee (STMC); when working on direct
projects or tasks, personnel charge to those projects.The remaining 20% is
funded by the remote site user fees from projects working at TMF and using
office or building space for 60 days or more, and by the dormitory fees that are
charged for overnight science customers using the dormitory.
