About this technology

Overview

As the commercial space economy grows, both established and start-up aerospace companies are doing work that was previously performed by NASA and other Government entities. To make sure they have the same powerful tools to design and improve spacecraft, Marshall Space Flight Center is making Generalized Fluid System Simulation Program (GFSSP) licenses available through Denver-based Mode Technologies Group. This testing and analysis program is available to businesses and educational institutions, with three new licenses sold in 2019.
