PyHC Telecon: Monday, March 17th
Julie Barnum
Hi all,
This coming Monday, March 17th at 9 AM MT we’ll have Steve Crawford from NASA HQ present to us on Open Science at NASA! This is sure to be a good one, so come if you are able. Information below…
Open Software at NASA
Abstract:
Software has been a common thread across all of NASA's major achievements from the Moon landing to the deepest images of our Universe. Today, NASA relies on, releases, and contributes to Open Source Software to advance its scientific missions. From monitoring our planet and Sun to running in our missions on other planets, Open Source Software is critical to addressing NASA's biggest challenges on climate change, exploring the solar system, and discovering life beyond Earth. The Ingenuity helicopter, exploring the surface of Mars, is guided by Open Source Software. The amazing images of the earliest galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope were made possible by open source software developed openly and contributed back to the community. In this talk, we discuss some of the history of open source at NASA, a sampling of open source projects, and next steps in open source for NASA. Along with open source software, we will also highlight some of NASA’s open science activities and opportunities that will advance transformational science.
