Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, is NASA's lead center for robotic exploration of the solar system, and is tasked with developing space exploration satellites and telescopes for observing distant galaxies. JPL recently expanded its product data management/product lifecycle management (PDM/PLM) system that relies on the Teamcenter® digital lifecycle management application by deploying a Microsoft-based Teamcenter application focusing on enterprise project and program collaboration capabilities.
The implementation connects JPL employees and outside suppliers - representing over 2,000 total users - to 38,000 3D product models, 6,000 drawings, and all associated product data, for improved development productivity and collaboration.
Teamcenter enables enterprise-wide collaboration and access to JPL's product data - including integrated, light-weight 3D images of JPL products - designed to enhance the organization's ability to perform design reviews and configuration management. The application can also offer security-enhanced collaboration to members of outside organizations such as JPL's industry partners, educational institutions, foreign space agencies, and other NASA centers.
