A user-friendly, configurable spacecraft sizing tool, BLAST provides a shareable, re-creatable and rigorous end-to-end multi-element architecture framework that has been used to generate mass data for in-space, beyond low-Earth orbit (LEO) transportation vehicles and architectures. Offering a novel approach to modeling, BLAST couples extensive MER research with the ability to assess mission changes instantaneously by analyzing sensitivity sweeps of several parameters at once.

MBJEOD is a multi-body dynamics (MBDyn) software interface layer that allows transfer of forces between muti-body articulating objects and the JEOD orbital dynamics package.

The Acute Radiation Risk And BRYNTRN Organ Dose Projection (ARRBOD) is a radiation risk projection model for typical space traveling scenarios, which calculates gender-dependent organ doses and various acute radiation responses due to some historical large solar particle events (SPEs).

This is a training tool for individuals to learn how to develop software with NASA-developed Core Flight software (CFS) framework. No agreement is necessary through this catalog. Software is available at open source site.

The Software Development and Integration Laboratory (SDIL) in Sonny Carter supports ISS Flight Software development, integration and verification. The complexity of the ISS requires efficient and reliable test reconfiguration, flexible resource scheduling, effective workflow and at the same time effective configuration management. An electronic workflow system was conceived, dubbed Rig Information Management (RIM). The SDIL was then transitioned from standalone, manual systems to the RIM system with database-centric, web-based solutions enabling significant efficiencies and paperless operations. It also created productivity improvements in flight software development and sustaining. This innovation has been recognized with a JSC 2007 Exceptional Software Award.

This technology is software that generates meshes of materials composed of dissimilar constituents. Example materials include carbon fiber composites, metallic alloys, ceramics, and rocks. These meshes are unstructured, meaning the mesh elements are triangular in 2D and tetrahedral in 3D. The mesh generator has the following capabilities -2D and 3D domains -Mesh quality controls -Multiple constituents/phases -User-defined grain size distributions -Highly eccentric grain shapes -Preferred grain orientation -Preferred grain positions -Multiple instances of the same microstructure

Koviz is a simulation data visualization tool designed for analyzing Trick simulation data - specialized for handling large monte carlo data sets and doing real-time analyses of Trick simulations.

The GERMCode provides scientists data interpretation of experiments; modeling of beam line, shielding of target samples and sample holders; and estimation of basic physical and biological outputs of their experiments. For mono-energetic ion beams, basic physical and biological properties are calculated for a selected ion type, such as kinetic energy, mass, charge number, absorbed dose, or fluence. Evaluated quantities are linear energy transfer (LET), range (R), absorption and fragmentation cross sections, and the probability of nuclear interactions after 1 or 5 cm of water equivalent material. In addition, a set of biophysical properties are evaluated, such as, the Poisson distribution for a specified cellular area, cell survival curves, and DNA damage yields per cell. Also, the GERM code calculates the radiation transport of the beam line for either a fixed number of user specified depths or at multiple positions along the Bragg curve of the particle in a selected material.

The Space Station Research Explorer provides current information on ISS experiments, facilities and research results. The Space Station Research Explorer consists of five different sections: Experiments, Facilities, Benefits, Interactive Media, and Links. The Experiments section provides access to the six main experiment categories and their subcategories. Experiments are depicted as dots within the category system and the stems connecting the dots to the system depict the length of time the experiment has been on orbit. Users can explore further by selecting a category which reveals the subcategories. They can then select a category and explore individual experiments. Experiment descriptions consist of in depth information, links, images, and publications if available. The Experiments section can be furthered narrowed by selecting a specific expedition and sponsor by using the dials at the top right of the screen. The experiments can also be searched for keywords using the search option. The Facilities section provides an interior view of three of the station modules; Columbus, Kibo, and Destiny. Once the module is selected, the interior image can be navigated by dragging up and down to see different sides of the module and left and right to view any racks not shown on the screen. Tapping a rack gives a brief description of the rack and an experiment description if available. The facilities section also contains exterior views of external platforms. Selecting the platform shows the experiments being run on the platforms and associated data. The Benefits section provides information on Human Health, Earth Benefits and Global education. Selecting a section allows the benefits to be investigated further. The Media section provides access to three tabs: Podcasts, Games, and Videos. The Games section contains a game that introduces players to the differences in gravity when tossing a ball. Podcasts contains links to NASA ScienceCasts and Videos contains links to Science related videos. The last section contains links to other Space station research sites and NASA applications.
