Short Bytes: As a part of its Technology Transfer program, NASA has released lots of free and open source software tools on its website. NASA says that these software are useful for professionals, entrepreneurs, small businesses, industry, and academia. You can visit NASA’s website to get the complete list of available tools and download the ones you desire.
Marking the third release in the series, NASA has officially rolled out its 2017-2018 software catalog. This software offering comes both in hard copy and offline format. The first pilot edition of NASA’s software catalog was made available to the public in April, 2014.
NASA’s software catalog is considered to be the first open source and all access listing of software by a U.S. government agency that one can access without any royalty or copyright fees. I know you might be thinking that what kind of NASA software can be used for Earthly applications. But, that’s not the case.
