Everything from the Apollo lunar lander <a href=\"http:\/\/apcmag.com\/apollo-11-code-goes-open-source.htm\">guidance system software<\/a> to star tracker algorithms is up for grabs, license\/royalty free. The release is part of a Presidential directive for all agencies to release their work and encourage others to build on it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This NASA software catalog will list more than 1,000 projects, and it will show you how to actually obtain the code you want. The idea to help hackers and entrepreneurs push these ideas in new directions \u2014 and help them dream up new ideas. Some code is only available to certain people \u2014 the rocket guidance system, for instance \u2014 but if you can get it, you can use it without paying royalties or copyright fees.<\/p>\n<p>Within a few weeks of publishing the list, NASA says, it will also offer a searchable database of projects, and then, by next year, it will host the actual software code in its own online repository, a kind of GitHub for astronauts.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all part of a White House-directed push to open up the federal government, which is the country\u2019s largest creator of public domain code, but also a complete laggard when it comes to sharing software. Three years ago, President Obama ordered federal agencies to speed up tech transfer programs like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>HOLY SHIT.<\/p>\n<p>gimme an SD card<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>taikonaut: ralphewig: Rocket Science &#8211; NASA is going open source, releasing a treasure trough of software for the aspiring rocket scientist.
