- Description
- NASA�s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)/Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) has released a version of the NAFTU (NASA Autonomous Flight Termination Unit) software package to industry through GSFC�s Strategic Partnerships Office. All interested parties, including private companies and government entities, must participate in the application process to obtain the software. To apply, interested parties must apply for a copyright license as well as submit a formal request for the NAFTU software in order to obtain a software usage agreement. Non-U.S. companies are responsible for obtaining all required export license documentation prior to receiving the NAFTU software.� NASA invites all eligible companies to obtain this version of NAFTU, which is now available. Update January 2022: NAFTU Version 2.2 is now available for release.� Please follow the directions given under the �Application Process� to obtain NAFTU Version 2.2.� � � Background On behalf of a government customer, GSFC/WFF is performing a compliance demonstration of NAFTU for a specific use case and configuration of the NAFTU software (Phase 1). This involves compliance to a tailored set of system requirements, testing, and independent verification and validation (IV&V). Earlier this year, IV&V review revealed several software design non-compliances, and as a result, the software has been modified to comply.� Application Process U.S. companies: In order to obtain the software, interested companies and government entities must fill out a software request form for the software usage agreement and apply for a copyright license. NASA will process applications in the order they are received. Due to the sensitive nature of this software, a vetting process will take place once both the copyright license application and the accompanying software request form is received.� Once the vetting process is complete, vetted companies will receive a software usage agreement and a copyright license. After the software usage agreement and the copyright license are signed by the vetted companies, the software will be distributed to each vetted company.�� To obtain the copyright license application and the software request form for the software usage agreement, please email GSFC-NAFTU@mail.nasa.gov. �Please indicate in the email that this is a request for both the copyright license application and the software request form.� NOTE: BOTH THE COPYRIGHT LICENSE AND SOFTWARE USAGE AGREEMENT ARE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE U.S. or NON-U.S. COMPANY. Non-U.S. companies: In addition to the copyright license and software usage agreement listed above, additional steps are needed to obtain the software, including applying for and obtaining an export license.� Please e-mail GSFC-NAFTU@mail.nasa.gov for more information.� Points of Contact If interested parties have questions about how to obtain the NAFTU software technology, including the software usage agreement and copyright license, please contact GSFC-NAFTU@mail.nasa.gov.
