The Jet Propulsion Laboratory plans to lay off about 325 employees, accounting for 5% of its workforce, as it struggles with fiscal constraints for 2025.
In a message to employees, JPL Director Laurie Leshin stated that the projected job cuts are lower than previous estimates following congressional budget cuts to NASA.
Earlier this year, JPL cut 530 jobs, representing 8% of its workforce, in an effort to manage costs, signaling ongoing financial challenges for the lab.
JPL has played a crucial role in space exploration, including constructing rovers sent to Mars and managing robotic missions across the solar system.
