The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is the largest University Affiliated Research Center in the USA. A core part of the Lab's mission is to provide critical contributions to some of the biggest challenges facing space exploration, through development of innovative technologies, engineering, and space science missions and instruments. In this presentation, I will first give a brief summary of APL's history in space science and relation to the broader US space enterprise, and then focus on some of the active projects at APL to explore our Sun, Ocean Worlds in the Solar System, and the heliosphere. I will also describe APL's latest efforts to build the first Planetary Defense mission, DART (the Double Asteroid Redirection Test).
