The web-based set of tools helps users find, analyze, and use the most relevant satellite data for research, business projects, or conservation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond environmental science, the catalog also includes software packages for system testing, aeronautics, business systems and project management, data and image processing, crew and life support, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The Software Catalog is a product of NASA\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/technology.nasa.gov\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Technology Transfer program<\/a>, managed for the agency by STMD. NASA routinely makes improvements to the Software Catalog website, ensuring the process is fast and easy. The program ensures technologies developed by and for NASA are broadly available to the public, maximizing the benefit to American taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>Access restrictions apply to some software that
