NASA Launches code.nasa.gov to Share and Collaborate Further with the Open Source Community

Following the release of its Open Government Plan and the Open Source Summit last year, NASA has now launched code.nasa.gov to "continue, unify, and expand NASA’s open source activities."

The site is still in "early alpha," but you can browse NASA's open source projects, learn more about how the agency contributes to open source, and start making contributions yourself. A long list of projects is posted, but only four have links available now, and they're all on Github:

• OpenMDAO, a Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization framework written in Python

• World Wind, a 3D interactive world viewer created by NASA's Learning Technologies project

• Vision Workbench, an image processing and computer vision library

• Research Center StereoPipeline, automated tools for processing images captured from robotic explorers on other planets...
