JPL
Caltech's spacecraft center
JPL stands for Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA's research facility in Pasadena, California, that designs and operates robotic spacecraft.
JPL has managed missions including Voyager, Mars rovers, and the James Webb Space Telescope.
JPL scientists confirmed the signal from the probe.
The name dates from its origins developing rocket propulsion in the 1930s.
