The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is a not-for-profit research and development center that serves as a key partner to the U.S. government in areas of national security, space exploration, and advanced technology. Located in Laurel, Maryland, APL was established in 1942 and operates under the umbrella of Johns Hopkins University. It is widely recognized for its contributions to missile defense systems, cybersecurity, and space missions—including NASA projects like the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the DART planetary defense test. With a focus on applied science and engineering, APL bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical, mission-critical solutions.
