NASA's Software Catalog


NASA has just published its 2017-2018 software catalog, which lists the many apps, code libraries and tools that pretty much anyone can download and use. Of course, most of it is pretty closely tied to… you know, launching spacecraft and stuff, which most people don’t do. But here are a few items that might prove useful to tinkers and curious lay people alike.

Understandably, most of the software in the catalog has something to do with rocket science and propulsion engineering. Unless you’re building a rocket or an aircraft in your backyard, that may not be your cup of tea, but worry not — other topics included may be more to your liking.

Perhaps you want to build your own autonomous system. NASA has software for all your robotics and systems health monitoring needs. Or maybe you’re curious about the climate? NASA’s got you covered, offering up every environmental science software tool they have that uses data from their Earth-observing satellites. Speaking of data, NASA also has software to meet your data processing needs. And while they’re at it, NASA can also help you design the next data and image processing app.

“The software catalog is our way of supporting the innovation economy by granting access to tools used by today’s top aerospace professionals to entrepreneurs, small businesses, academia, and industry,” explained Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator for NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) in Washington, in a press release. “Access to these software codes has the potential to generate tangible benefits that create American jobs, earn revenue, and save lives.”
