NASA’s researchers, scientists and engineers have launched numerous crowdsourcing projects through the NTL, often seeking novel ideas or solutions to accelerate research and development efforts, improve algorithm performance, and seek new ideas and approaches in support of the NASA mission. The NTL offers a variety of open innovation platforms that engage the crowdsourcing community to create the most innovative, efficient, and optimized solutions for specific, real-world problems being faced by NASA and other Federal Agencies.
