Interplanetary Network Directorate

Interplanetary Network Directorate

The Interplanetary Network Directorate (IND) is the branch of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) charged with the development and operation of NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN).

The IND is considered to be JPL's focal point for all matters relating to telecommunications, interplanetary navigation, information systems, information technology, computing, software engineering, and other relevant technologies.

While the IND is best known for its duties relating to the Deep Space Network, the organization also maintains the JPL Advanced Multi-Mission Operations System (AMMOS) and JPL's Institutional Computing and Information Services (ICIS).
