NASA's Software Catalog 2017-2018 Now Available Free Of Cost

NASA has released its 2017-2018 software catalog totally free of cost. The package includes thousands of newly developed software; which NASA uses for its daily computing needs for processes like image analysis, design and integration, propulsion, aeronautic simulations and what not. Alongside software, package bundles numerous apps and code libraries which you will find interesting if launching a spacecraft is one of your fantasies. The first such catalog was published in April 2014. Since then, every year NASA shares its innovations in computing and analysis in form of software.

According to Steve Jurczyk, Associate Administrator for NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) in Washington, this is NASA’s way of giving a push to technological developments in every field by providing tools and applications used by best aerospace professionals to small businesses, educational institutes. Proper utilization of such resources can create jobs and even save lives. You can find these resources online and if you choose to get a hard copy, that’s available too.

LEWICE is also a part of the 2017-2018 software package which space agency used to study effects of icy chilled weather in high altitude flights. Automated Triangle Geometry Processing for Surface Modeling and Cartesian Grid Generation (Cart3D)(ARC-14275-1) | NASA Software Catalog, also known as Automated Triangle Geometry Processing for Surface Modeling and Cartesian Grid Generation helps u to visualize fluid dynamic properties of drones and crafts in flight. Weightless is a quite popular video demonstrating formation flying. You can do something like that with NASA’s #-Link-Snipped-#. Yes! That’s included in the catalog. A really useful one is Global Earth Global Reference Atmospheric Model 2016 (Earth GRAM 2016)(MFS-32780-2) | NASA Software Catalog. These models can be used for analyzing environmental trends on Earth, Mars, Venus, etc.


These are just few of them and there are thousands of such useful and not so useful (for general public) feats of technological development in the catalog. Everything in this package comes with a description in laymen language. NASA hopes to see some creatively new implementations as most of the software in this year’s package is never released before.
