About a third of NASA’s reported innovation every year is software. And now, the space agency is making available a database of code from some 1,000 projects to the public.

Organized into fifteen categories, the catalog includes code from a variety of applications for use by industry, academia, other government agencies, and the general public, says NASA.

Jim Adams (Deputy chief technologist, NASA): Software is an increasingly important element of the agency’s intellectual asset portfolio, making up about a third of our reported inventions every year.

The technologies featured in the software catalog cover project management systems, design tools, data handling, and image processing, as well as solutions for life support functions, aeronautics, structural analysis, and robotic and autonomous systems.

Each NASA code has been evaluated for access restrictions and designated for a specific type of release, ranging from codes that are open to all U.S. citizens to codes that are restricted to use by other federal agencies, says the agency.

NASA’s technology transfer program is managed by the Office of the Chief Technologist at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
