Profile
National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a world-renowned NASA center that took America into space for the first time and has sent missions to all of the solar system's planets. The JPL today supports a diverse array of programs in planetary and Mars exploration, Earth science, space-based astronomy and technology development. JPL is unique as NASA's only federally funded research and development center, staffed and managed for the space agency by Caltech. In addition to its flight projects, JPL developed and manages the worldwide Deep Space Network, operating communications complexes on three continents that serve as the gateway to missions across the solar system. JPL also supports varied research programs by world-renowned technologists and staff scientists conducting investigations in a broad range of technologies and disciplines.

Military thermoelectrics
Thermoelectric energy harvesting is used in many military applications. In addition, it is used in the related area of generating energy on space vehicles in deep space where thermoelectric are ineffective, this being done by converting the heat of a radioactive material - the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator RTG.
