Software
Much of NASA’s research and development involves a software component, and that software often has applications beyond the space program. Among others, NASA’s software includes tools to increase efficiency and save time during development and conceptualization of new technologies, as well as video image stabilization software with dramatic editing and enhancement capabilities that could revolutionize broadcast quality post-production.
Other software titles are available for release to certain, approved parties under Software Usage Agreements. Visit our Software Catalog page to browse the full list of titles and learn more about Software Usage Agreements and release restrictions.

Licensing and Partnering Opportunities
Featured Technologies
 |
NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is offering licenses for its video image stabilization and registration (VISAR) software. VISAR’s dramatic video editing and enhancement capabilities can revolutionize broadcast quality post-production. However, its ease of use also makes it a perfect tool for the consumer market. With built-in modularity, VISAR can be provided as a stand-alone, plug-in, or fully integrated component. Developed for the FBI’s investigation of the 1996 bombing at the Atlanta Olympics, VISAR has been successfully used in many high-profile investigations and has also been featured on CNN, ABC News, the Discovery Channel, Court TV, and America’s Most Wanted.

+ Show/Hide Summary
Researchers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center have patented software for analyzing steady state and transient flow in complex fluid networks. Originally developed to analyze propulsion systems, the Generalized Fluid System Simulation Program (GFSSP) version 5.0 is a general purpose, versatile flow modeling solution. The software incorporates thermodynamic property programs that draw upon an extensive library of fluid analyses, allowing users with a background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to model complex flow circuits quickly and easily. GFSSP version 5.0 also provides new capabilities for modeling fluid transient and conjugate heat transfer—including additional resistance options, fluids, and non-linear boundary conditions—through the application of user subroutines. With its flexibility and user-friendly graphical interface, this NASA Software of the Year Award winner is a unique predictive tool for multiple industries, achieving solutions for engineering problems not solvable via other means.
