NASA Has Just Released Tons Of Free And Open Source Software, Here’s How To Get Them

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.

NASA says that the freely released tools are helpful for professionals, entrepreneurs, small businesses, industry, and academia. These software tools have the potential to create jobs, save lives, and earn revenue, NASA adds.

 



 

You might be surprised to know about the major role software plays in NASA’s research. Surprisingly, more than 30% of all reported NASA innovations are software. With this release, NASA wishes to transfer these software to other sectors with a hope to see new and creative usage.

Here are some of the popular tools that have been open sourced by NASA:

  • Worldview Satellite Imagery Browsing and Downloading Tool

  • Global Planetary Reference Models

  • CARES/LIFE

  • NASA Root Cause Analysis Tool

World’s Fastest Camera Takes 5 Trillion Photos Per Second, Can Pause Moving Light

Image
High-speed cameras taking 100,000 pictures in one second are enough to fascinate us. But what about a camera that can film at a rate of 5 trillion images per second. It’s created by the researchers Elias Kristensson and Andreas Ehn at the Lund University in Sweden. The camera can make light slow enough that it could be analyzed by humans. In other words, it can be used to record events happening in the 0.2 trillionths of a second. In 2011, a similar camera device was created by the MIT Media Lab. But it was slower and capable of capturing 1 trillion images per second. The researchers demonstrated the camera by filming photons of light traveling a distance equivalent to the thickness of a paper. The trillion camera works in a different way in comparison to the normal high-speed cameras.

I'm Loyal to Nothing Except the Dream

There is much I take for granted in my life, and the normal functioning of American government is one of those things. In my 46 years, I've lived under nine different presidents. The first I remember is Carter. I've voted in every presidential election since 1992, but I do not consider myself a Democrat, or a Republican. I vote based on leadership – above all, leadership – and issues. In my 14 years of blogging, I've never written a political blog post. I haven't needed to. Until now. It is quite clear something has become deeply unglued in the state of American politics. The nuclear doomsday clock was just moved as close to midnight as it has been in 64 years. America was downgraded from a Democracy to a Flawed Democracy . As of 2017, the United States, through a sequence of highly improbable events, managed to elect an extremely controversial president. A president with historically low approval ratings , elected on a platform many considered too extreme to even be t
