Collaborative Platform Trains Students in Simulation and Modeling
A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.
About this technology
Overview
NASA uses simulations every day to test new ideas and science, saving untold time and money and resulting in improved outcomes. To make it easier to share simulations across centers and teams, engineers at Kennedy Space Center built the Distributed Observer Network, a simulation viewer that works alongside a commercial game engine to make simulations portable. Now the platform is available to university students through the Simulation Exploration Experience, which aims to train the next generation of simulation builders.
