Now, Nasa research available online
Care to learn more about 400-foot tsunamis
on Mars? Nasa has announced it is making all its publicly funded research
available online for free. The space agency has set up a new public web portal
called Pubspace, where the public can find Nasa-funded research articles on
everything from the chances of life on one of Saturn's moons to the effects of
space station living on the hair follicles of astronauts.
In
2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy directed Nasa and
other agencies to increase access to their research. Now, it is Nasa policy
that any research articles funded by the agency have to be posted on Pubspace.
There
are some exceptions, such as research that relates to national security. There
are currently a little over 850 articles available on the website with many
more to come.
