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
FreeTechBooks ( Online computer science books and lecture notes ): This site lists free online computer science books and lecture notes, all of which are freely and legally available over the Internet. All the books listed here are available for free, as they are hosted on websites that belong to the authors or the publishers. Visitors are most welcome to view, download and print the books for private use at no charge.

NASA COmputer Software Management and Information Center ( COSMIC )
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.
National Center for Supercomputing Applications: Mosaic information browser ( NCSA )
Neural Network Papers ( archive ): This directory contains technical reports as a public service to the connectionist and neural network scientific community which has an organized mailing list (for info: connectionists-request@cs.cmu.edu). Researchers may place electronic versions of their preprints in this directory, announce availability, and other interested researchers can rapidly retrieve and print the postscripts.
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center ( PSC )
San Diego Supercomputer Center ( SDSC )
Software Engineering Institute ( SEI ): The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is a major force causing the widespread adoption of significant improvements in the practice of software engineering. The institute is committed to the evolution of software engineering from an ad-hoc, labor-intensive activity to a managed, technology-supported engineering discipline.
Statistical Consulting Center for Astronomy ( SCCA ): The SCCA provides prompt high-quality statistical advice for the astronomical community. It is an interdisciplinary team of faculty at Penn State with contacts throughout the international statistical community. A wide range of issues arising in astronomical data analysis can be addressed. Questions and answers are made available on the WWW.
Statistical software for astronomy and related fields ( StatCodes ): StatCodes is a Web metasite with links to >200 source codes and packages implementing statistical methods which are freely available on the Internet. Most are in C or Fortran. Categories include: general statistics; statistical distributions; Bayesian statistics; time series analysis; multivariate analysis; multivariate clustering and classification; censored and truncated data; nonparametric methods; density estimation and smoothing; spatial statistics; image analysis; correlation and regression; visualization tools; interactive Web tools.
