Design Engineering Technology Digest
-
The monthly magazine features exclusive reports of innovations developed by
NASA and its industry partners/contractors that can be applied to
develop new/improved products and solve engineering or manufacturing problems. Authored
by the engineers or scientists who did the work, the
briefs span a wide array of fields, including electronics, physical
sciences, materials, computer software, mechanics, machinery/automation, manufacturing/fabrication, mathematics/information sciences, and
life sciences.
Most briefs offer a Technical Support
Package, which explains the technology in greater detail and provides
contact points for questions or licensing discussions.
NASA Tech Briefs
also contains feature articles on successful NASA spinoffs, profiles of
NASA tech transfer resources, news briefs, and application stories. Regular
columns describe new patents, industry products, software, and literature.

FITSview FITS image viewers
(FITSview)
-
The FITSview family of viewers for FITS format astronomical images
are available for Microsoft Windows (FITSview), Apple Macintosh (MacFITSview) and
Unix/X-Windows (XFITSview) computer systems. These viewers have easy to use
graphical controls and will display astronomical images in the Flexible
Image Transport System (FITS) format allowing zooming, scrolling, modifying the
brightness, contrast and pseudo color and allow determination of celestial
positions and the physical brightness units in the image. Both
standard World Coordinate System (WCS) and Digitized Sky Survey

NASA's Computational Technologies Project
(CT)
-
The Earth, its relationship to the Sun and Solar System,
and the universe in its totality are the domain of
the Computational Technologies (CT) Project. This effort employs advanced computers
to further our understanding of and ability to predict the
dynamically interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes that drive these
systems. Goddard Space Flight Center serves as the lead center
for the CT Project and collaborates with the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory.
