Interns are a regular part of the IMPACT team. Again and again, interns have brought significant value to IMPACT projects with their fresh perspectives, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn. Their unique outlooks challenge established patterns and can lead to creative problem-solving and innovative solutions. These IMPACT interns also infuse teams…

Last summer, we introduced the Algorithm Publication Tool (APT): an authoring, publishing, and central repository environment for creating Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs). These documents are needed for communicating the theory behind some of the NASA data products available to users. …

Less than seven months after a public/private partnership was forged between IBM Research and NASA IMPACT, the largest ever open-source geospatial AI foundation model (FM) has been released. AI foundation models are pre-trained on large datasets with self-supervised learning techniques. They provide flexible base models that can be fine-tuned for…

It’s time for high fives and fist bumps at IMPACT. After four years of planning, building, and refining, the Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG) within IMPACT reached a major milestone in their efforts to develop a centralized web interface for users to rapidly access information and data products acquired by…
