NASA goes open source – compile your own Mission Simulation Toolkit today!

Looks like NASA has caught the open source bug. I haven’t yet read the NASA Open Source Agreement but it sounds cool – NOSA. Looks like you can now download and tweak the bits of Livingstone2 – because everyone needs a little custom AI to handle hardware failures on their spacecraft… wonder what the testing platform is.

Livingstone2/Skunkworks
Livingstone2 is a reusable artificial intelligence (AI) software system designed to assist spacecraft, life support systems, chemical plants or other complex systems in operating robustly with minimal human supervision, even in the face of hardware failures or unexpected events.
