In 1943 the Army Air Forces asked GALCIT to study the possible use of rockets to propel long-range missiles. In response, Malina and Tsien wrote a report dated 20 November 1943, which was the first document to use the Jet Propulsion Laboratory name.[10] Von Kármán added a cover memorandum, signing it as "Director, Jet Propulsion Laboratory," but as far as Caltech was concerned JPL did not yet formally exist.[11] In early 1944 the United States Armyasked GALCIT to develop missiles for field use, which led to the development of the Private, Corporal, and Sergeantmissiles.[1] The Army Ordnance Corps established the ORDCIT Project, and JPL/GALCIT was formally organized to carry out this work.[12]
說明當時古根海姆就是JPL。 那後來錢又是古根海姆的Founding Director，就搞不清了
