We are talking about a software catalog with more than 800 programs for free originally created to help explore space, although the agency believes that they can be used to solve problems of the world on the surface.
They are programs based on aeronautics, autonomous systems, data and image processing, systems testing, and more. The initiative is part of the Technology Transfer program of the Space Technology Mission Directorate.
Logically NASA creates a wide variety of programs to help explore space and make new discoveries. These programs could be used to solve real-world problems, such as global warming, so it is worth browsing through this collection of more than 800 programs that NASA offers free to the public through its Technology Transfer program. This software pack includes tools for calculating the size and power requirements of a solar power system, code for analyzing solar aircraft concepts, computational fluid dynamics software, among many others.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said:
The software is suitable for satellites, astronauts, engineers and scientists, as it is applied and adapted in industries and businesses, it is a testament to the great value that NASA brings to the United States and the world.
This collection of 832 programs will continue to grow.
To enjoy them, you have to enter their website and use the filter to classify the software and choose the most useful for our work.
This NASA initiative is managed by the Space Technology Mission Directorate which ensures that technologies developed by and for NASA are widely available to the public. The space agency is also hosting a webinar on July 13 to let the public know how they can download the programs and allow them to ask questions about NASA software.
