According to the readme <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;NDAS">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;NDAS</a>, the pre-requisite are<p>&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; LabVIEW 2020+ Windows 10+ Git And tortoise git (for its embedded diff tool) &lt;&#x2F;code&gt;&lt;&#x2F;pre&gt;I&#x27;m a big fan of tortoise and mainly its revision graph. I must say their 3-way merge tool is the best free software on Windows the only competing one, but less good, is p4merge, and it&#x27;s closed source.<p>Also Tortoise is one of the big reasons I did not switch to MacOS at work (yes, the revision graph, and no, there are no almost-as-good-or-better alternative on Linux&#x2F;MacOS, but please prove me wrong) .<p>TIL about LabVIEW and the G programming language. Also it breaks my mental image of NASA people working on Linux or MacOS.

I&#x27;ve always wished that the Open Vehicle Sketchpad:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;software.nasa.gov&#x2F;software&#x2F;LAR-17491-1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;software.nasa.gov&#x2F;software&#x2F;LAR-17491-1</a><p>had become more popular and morphed into a general-purpose CAD program....

Interesting license:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;raw.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;NDAS&#x2F;refs&#x2F;heads&#x2F;main&#x2F;LICENSE.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;raw.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;NDAS&#x2F;refs&#x2F;heads&#x2F;main&#x2F;...</a>

Oh my, it&#x27;s based on LabVIEW. I wouldn&#x27;t have thought that NASA uses a write-only language.

This is not NASA&#x27;s first open source software. NASA has released open source software for years.[1] This is just something NASA&#x27;s Stennis Center is doing.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;software.nasa.gov&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;software.nasa.gov&#x2F;</a>
