The software is being made available through the NASA Technology
Transfer Program keeping in line with its motto fo “Bringing NASA
Technology Down to Earth”. The available codes are listed in the NASA
Software Catalog, now in its third edition, published this week. While
much of the software is entirely in the public domain, some programs may
only be released for use on a government project or are subject to
export controls allowing use only by U.S. persons.

NASA says that the freely released tools will be useful for top
professionals, entrepreneurs, small businesses, industry, and academia
and have a potential to create jobs, save lives, and earn revenue.

The NASA catalog contains some award winning software likeTraffic Aware
Planner, is an in-cockpit tool to assist pilots in requesting the most
efficient route of flight taking into consideration the position and
track of nearby aircraft. The second, Pegasus 5, is a computational
fluid dynamics solver, which allows users to calculate the pressure and
temperature of fluid flows to model system performance, such as lift and
drag from an airframe in flight. Although likely not as popular as
astronaut ice cream, the most requested piece of NASA software in 2016
was Schedule Test and Assessment Tool, a plug-in to Microsoft Project to
automate reporting of project performance data.
