La NASA It is one of the most important scientific and technological organizations in the world. Some time ago, he organized a competition international scope with which to encourage the development of open source applications to analyze global problems. The news of the moment is that just a few weeks ago, it deepened its commitment to open source software development by launching a portal dedicated to accommodate several of his projects, with open source licenses. |
During the last decades the North American Space Agency, NASA, has been developing specific software for its tasks and has also created a series of initiatives to try to disseminate information. Now, instead of information, it's up to the tools.
Code.NASA is a new portal with which the agency will attempt to "continue, unify and expand NASA's Open Source activities" by showcasing some of its current projects, offering forums for researchers and other materials of undeniable value.
Currently, there are already a number of projects underway with tools available for download, some of them as interesting as ViSBARD (Visual System for Browsing, Analysis and Retrieval of Data) or Core HSEG Software Package , which, although they have specific applications for aerospace software, are easily applicable to other fields of technology.
