The Plan for Code

| Today we are launching code.nasa.gov, the latest member of the open NASA web family. Through this website, we will continue, unify, and expand NASA’s open source activities. The site will serve to surface existing projects, provide a forum for discussing projects and processes, and guide internal and external groups in open development, release, and contribution. [...]

Today we are launching code.nasa.gov, the latest member of the open NASA web family. Through this website, we will continue, unify, and expand NASA’s open source activities. The site will serve to surface existing projects, provide a forum for discussing projects and processes, and guide internal and external groups in open development, release, and contribution.

In our initial release, we are focusing on providing a home for the current state of open source at the Agency. This includes guidance on how to engage the open source process, points of contact, and a directory of existing projects. By elucidating the process, we hope to lower the barriers to building open technology in partnership with the public.

Phase two will concentrate on providing a robust forum for ongoing discussion of open source concepts, policies, and projects at the Agency. In our third phase, we will turn to the tools and mechanisms development projects generally need to be successful, such as distributed version control, issue tracking, continuous integration, documentation, communication, and planning/management. During this phase, we will create and host a tool, service, and process chain to further lower the burden to going open.

Ultimately, our goal is to create a highly visible community hub that will imbue open concepts into the formulation stages of new hardware and software projects, and help existing projects transition to open modes of development and operation. We are going to need your help to get there! Please use “Share your Ideas,” comment on this post, or email us at opNo spam, please.engov@nasa.gov to let us know how code can help you, where you would like to see the site go, and how we might best fulfill our purpose.

We believe that tomorrow’s space and science systems will be built in the open, and that code.nasa.gov will play a big part in getting us there. Will your code someday escape our solar system or land on an alien planet? We’re working to make it happen, and with your help, it will.


We welcome your comments if you are 13 or older, and hope that our conversations here will be polite. You are responsible for the content of your comments.

We do not discriminate against any views, but may delete any of the following:

In short: be nice and add to the discussion. If you continually violate this policy, we may limit your ability to comment in the future. If you have any questions or comments about this policy, please contact us.

    Great work guys! Will this code site replace the http://opensource.gsfc.nasa.gov and http://opensource.arc.nasa.gov sites, or augment them? I know the opensource sites have links to the source code, but the source code is not kept in an version control, like github.

  • Brian Kirkpatrick

    I’m liking this–very good idea!

    Some questions:
     * Do you anticipate all projects to be governed by the NASA OSA?
     * To whom can we address questions regarding licensing questions, for contributions to projects and for using projects in the private market?
     * Do you anticipate using a branched, NASA-specific version control system to address the particular requirements of NASA software projects (i.e., ITAR, etc)?

    Thank you for sharing NASA’s great work! I’m looking forward to contributing.

  • holger.mayer

    What I really like to see from NASA  is information,  guidance and tools for quality assurance besides the known tools for debugging, defect tracking  and unit testing generally used in the open source community. 

     If I remember it right space shuttle software development was the first to be CMM 5 certified. It would be nice to start an open source community that improves the software development process far beyond what is common in the open source community today. Especially if the software one day may be part of an interplanetary endeavor.

    The NASA open source portal would be a great way to have programming contests and offer bounties to develop software for NASA. It can also be used to connect with research communities and offer an insight into new research developments while attempting to build software that utilizes new research.

    Great,  Thanks NASA!

    I hope that through this project free software will grow even more!

    Thanks for your devotion to your scientific exploits. I have always been absolutely mystified by the Reasearch NASA is doing. What an honor to be a citizen of this country and its scientific community. I will be following your work as I have linked to your site for easy access!

    I think what you are doing is very important and long over due.  I look forward to contributing articles.

    Will the theme of the site be released as open as well?

    You always here about Richard Branson organising commercial flights into space or too the moon. Given how much it costs to lift stuff into space, is this actually feasable?

    Yea. His suggestion is to waste your money paying him to do what you already did. I doubt he even read the article

    Open source is the way to go. If NASA opens this up to the public then we can see some great minds collaborating for the same purpose.

    The more open our government agencies and entities are the better. Just look at Fannie and Freddie Mac. These two GSE’s had no openforum or transparency and our country is in shambles because of it! Good job, NASA. Keep it up.

    While i sitting this page, i was thinking i am simply reading just like this content coded in most sites when We are currently in the heart of this article, I am unable to support myself to understand what it’s all about which developed in generally there. It’s surprising that this doodlekit can make this blog incredible while using quality content material that will other individuals don’t have. I am going to look ahead to this page for further reading through important content down the road.

    NASA has been doing great things with the budgets they have been given. Looking forward to the day when they lead the way to the discovery of sentient life in a far away solar system
