Open source is mission critical for NASA
The first NASA Open Source Summit highlighted policy and progress.
NASA's commitment to open source and its gameplan for open government were discussed at the recent NASA Open Source Summit. Here's a look at the open source issues and opportunities the agency faces.
The NASA Make Challenge
The first challenge: create kits that can be built in a classroom and sent on-board suborbital flights.
If you are fascinated by space, it's a great time for you to be able to do something as a maker and make a real contribution. Makers can now participate in a new kind of space program, one that expands beyond NASA to include commercial space collaboration.
Open sourcing space
The final frontier is now open to amateurs.
The space race has been reignited, but in a much different way. With off-the-shelf components and your own initiative, you can now launch a satellite or weather balloon. Dale Dougherty looks at this new wave of roll-your-own exploration.
Tracking the signal of emerging technologies
The first NASA IT Summit featured deep views into the future.
