openNASA

As 2011 comes to a close, we would like to share a special thank you to everyone who has supported the Open Government Initiative this past year. We have come a long way this year and to celebrate the many accomplishments, we created an annual report infographic that shares some of the impressive highlights related to Open Government at NASA from the past 12 months. In 2012, we look forward to continuing to work with you to share NASA’s data, push forward the use of Open Source technologies, and create new participatory opportunities to engage citizens in our space exploration and aeronautics mission
