Goddard researchers are continually developing innovative and versatile software, and many times NASA allows that software to be released into the public domain. Once approved for release, these programs can be used in applications outside of their original NASA purpose.
Goddard’s IPP facilitated the signing of several SUAs in 2005. Two of Goddard’s most successful software programs—the Hilbert Huang Transform and the Recursive Hierarchical Segmentation Software, which have been extensively promoted by OTT—accounted for the majority of the SUAs in 2005. Yet SUAs for other Goddard software programs proliferated as well. In 2006, IPP will continue to pursue SUAs for HHT and RHSEG as well as for many other innovative, cutting-edge software programs developed at Goddard.

When researchers at other government agencies, U.S. and foreign universities, and commercial companies are interested in Goddard’s released software, they enter into a Software Usage Agreement (SUA). An SUA allows Goddard’s software to be used for internal research, collaboration, government use, licensing, or other applications.
